One of my workout friends, Angie, told me about some roasted okra she had recently. I love roasting vegetables, and I love okra so why not? This is so simple, fast and delicious. Even my kids (who I admit are used to fried okra) were fighting over them. Just simply trim the edges of the okra slightly and season with salt, pepper and olive oil. They come out phenomenal!

These were so good and healthy. I couldn’t stop eating them. They were like eating popcorn. I can’t wait til you make them again.
I have to admit I never cook okra but your recipe and Jon’s comment above may make me get out there and buy some.Popcorn? I am sold 🙂
I had roasted okra at Bottega the other night. It was amazing and not the least bit slimy!
Wow, I am making this tonight. Thanks for sharing.
I love roasting veggies too, what a great idea for okra! Thanks!
