PAN-ROASTED CORN AND OKRA RECIPE - (4.2/5)

Pan-Roasted Corn and Okra Recipe - (4.2/5) image

Provided by Mother_Daniel

Number Of Ingredients 4

Ingredients

6 ear(s) of corn, shucked
1/4 C. vegetable oil (plus more for brushing skillet or griddle)
2 lbs. okra, trimmed and halved lengthwise
Sea salt

Steps:

In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the corn just until tender, about 3 minutes. Drain and cool under running water. Pat the corn dry and, working over a bowl, cut the kernels from the cobs. Heat a large cast-iron skillet or griddle until very hot and brush lightly with oil. In a bowl, toss the okra with 2 tablespoons of the vegetable oil and season with salt. Cook the okra in batches over high heat, turning once, until charred and tender, 3 minutes per batch. Transfer the okra to a platter. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil to the corn kernels, season with salt and toss to coat. Add the corn to the skillet and cook over high heat, stirring occasionally, until lightly charred in spots, about 3 minutes. Add the corn to the okra and toss. Serve hot or at room temperature.

ROASTED OKRA

This came from the local paper. It's an interesting way to prepare okra that cuts down on okra slime. Very easy and much healthier than fried (but fried is still the hands down champ). I only use kosher salt on roasted vegetables, it really does make a difference.

ROASTED OKRA

As a good Southern gardener, I find myself bringing in okra by the armload nearly every other day. Stewed okra is great, but for a little variety, we like to roast ours from time to time. This is so simple and easy and the okra tends to not be nearly as gummy or slimy when roasted. Chopped tomato makes a great addition when we have some handy.

Tips:

Choose the right pan: Use a heavy-bottomed pan or skillet that can withstand high heat. A cast iron pan is ideal for this recipe.
Heat the pan before adding the vegetables: This will help to create a nice sear on the corn and okra.
Don't overcrowd the pan: Cook the vegetables in batches if necessary. Overcrowding the pan will prevent the vegetables from browning properly.
Stir the vegetables frequently: This will help to ensure that they cook evenly and don't burn.
Season the vegetables to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other spices as desired.
Serve the vegetables immediately: Pan-roasted corn and okra are best served hot. You can garnish with fresh herbs, such as cilantro or parsley.

Conclusion:

Pan-roasted corn and okra is a delicious and healthy side dish that can be enjoyed as part of a main meal or as a snack. It is a great way to use up fresh corn and okra and it is a good source of vitamins, minerals, and fiber. This recipe is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences.
