I guarantee you this okra is not slimy! I remembered a tip that I heard on a cooking show about vinegar when I received some fresh okra and needed to come up with a new and different way to cook it that was healthy and still delicious. This recipe fits the bill and it is so super easy you can throw it together in a flash!

Tips for Roasting Okra and Cherry Tomatoes:

Choose fresh, firm okra and cherry tomatoes for the best flavor and texture.
Tossing the vegetables with olive oil, salt, and pepper before roasting helps to evenly coat and season them.
Be sure to spread the vegetables in a single layer on the baking sheet so that they roast evenly.
Roast the vegetables at a high temperature (400-425°F) for a short amount of time (15-20 minutes) to ensure that they are tender-crisp.
If you want a more caramelized flavor, you can roast the vegetables for a few minutes longer.
