Oven-Roasted Okra
Sara Jones, Tucson CSA
This is an easy way to make okra and you can prepare it
according to your taste.
1 CSA basket okra
2 teaspoons seasoning mix (use Cajun spices, Mexican mole or
chile mix, curry powder etc.)
About 2 teaspoons oil or melted butter
Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Wipe okra clean (do not use water;
or if you do, let the okra dry off completely, or it will turn
gummy). Toss okra with oil or butter, then sprinkle with
seasoning mix of your choice. Toss again to coat. Spread okra
on a baking sheet and place in the preheated oven. Cook for
about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until okra is browned in
spots and tender.
