Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°F. Toss together all ingredients in a large bowl until combined. Spread mixture in a single layer on a large baking sheet. Roast in preheated oven until okra is tender and browned, 20 to 25 minutes, stirring mixture halfway through cook time. Serve.

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.
