Time 1h25m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 (10 ounce) packages frozen whole okra, partially thawed or 20 ounces fresh okra, when in season
salt and pepper
2 teaspoons margarine or 2 teaspoons butter
4 slices bacon, cut into 2 inch pieces
1 1/2 cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded

Steps:

  • Rinse okra pods in water to separate.
  • Pat dry.
  • Place okra in a single layer in a greased 9x9x1 3/4-inch baking pan.
  • Sprinkle with salt and pepper; dot with margarine.

  • Remove foil from pan and place under broiler until bacon is brown and crisp.
  • Sprinkle cheese over okra and replace foil over pan.
  • Bake 375 degrees for an additional 10 minutes.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh okra: Look for okra that is bright green and firm, with no blemishes or bruises. Smaller okra pods are generally more tender than larger ones.
  • Trim the okra: Cut off the stem end of each okra pod, and then slice the pods into 1-inch pieces.
  • Soak the okra in vinegar: This helps to reduce the okra's sliminess. Soak the okra in vinegar for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
  • Cook the okra over medium heat: High heat can make the okra tough. Cook the okra over medium heat until it is tender, about 10 minutes.
  • Season the okra to taste: Okra has a mild flavor, so it can be seasoned with a variety of herbs and spices. Some popular seasonings for okra include salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.
