SUPER EASY OVEN-ROASTED OKRA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil and spray lightly with cooking spray.
• Place frozen okra and onion on the prepared baking sheet; drizzle with canola oil. Combine onion powder, garlic powder, ginger, turmeric, curry powder, paprika, and salt in a bowl. Sprinkle over vegetables and toss to coat.
• Roast in the preheated oven until tender, about 34 minutes. Remove from the oven and garnish with cilantro.

OVEN ROASTED OKRA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450°F.
• Trim the okra by cutting away the stem ends and the tips, just the very ends. Then cut the okra in half, lengthwise.
• Place okra in a large bowl. Add oil and spices and toss to coat the okra halves.
• Place okra on a baking sheet in a single layer.
• Roast in the oven for 20-25 minutes, shaking or stirring the okra at least twice during the roasting time. You'll know the okra is ready when it's lightly browned and tender.
• Serve hot as they tend to lose the crispy texture as they cool.

SIMPLE ROASTED OKRA

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 400 F. While the oven heats, trim the okra, removing the tough stem ends. Cut the okra pods in half lengthwise for faster, more even roasting. Cutting them before cooking in the dry heat of the oven also seems to further minimize the slime-factor for which these nutty pods are so famous.
• Trim off and discard the root end and any dried part from the green ends of the green onions. Cut the green onions in half lengthwise, and then cut them (white and green parts) into 3-inch lengths.
• Either in a roasting pan, on a rimmed baking sheet, or in a large bowl, combine the okra and the green onion. Drizzle the vegetables with the oil, and sprinkle with the salt. Toss to coat everything evenly and thoroughly. Spread the vegetables in a single layer in a roasting pan or rimmed baking sheet.
• Roast the okra until it's tender and its edges are browning; this tends to happen somewhere in the neighborhood of 25 minutes. After 15 minutes, you may want to take the pan out and stir the vegetables around a bit, being sure to settle the okra back into a single layer before returning the pan to the oven to finish roasting. Serve the roasted okra hot or warm.
