Ingredients
- 1 lb fresh okra rinsed, dried, and sliced in 1/2 inch pieces
- 2 Tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt or to taste
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
Instructions
- Heat your oven to 450°F (232°C).
- In a big bowl, toss sliced okra with olive oil to coat each piece. evenly sprinkle with kosher salt, garlic powder, black pepper, and smoked paprika, mixing well to distribute the seasonings.
- Place the okra on a baking sheet and cook in the oven for 15-18 minutes until soft and slightly browned. Flipping the okra mid-roast is optional but can help with even cooking.
- Once done, take the okra out and let it cool slightly before giving it a final taste test, adding more seasoning if needed.
Notes
- To achieve that perfect crispy texture without the slime, make sure your okra is completely dry before tossing it with oil and seasonings, and avoid overcrowding on the baking sheet.
- Feel free to experiment with different spices to suit your taste.
- I use kosher salt in this recipe. If using table salt or sea salt, use less salt than indicated.
