SPICY ROASTED OKRA
Modified from dallasnews.com's recipe by Tina Danze, published: August 10, 2011. NOTE: Recently I saw a tip on America's Test Kitchen (or Cook's Country) to use frozen okra (thawed and blotted dry) in recipes, because decent fresh okra is hard to find in grocery stores!

ROASTED FRESH OKRA
If you have picky eaters who worry about texture, roasted okra is marvelous. It's OK to crowd the pan. Okra shrinks as it cooks. -Anna Katsoulis, Greenville, North Carolina

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 tender okra: Look for okra pods that are small and firm, with a deep green color. Avoid pods that are large, woody, or have blemishes.
- Trim the okra: Cut off the stem end of each okra pod, leaving the blossom end intact. You can also slice the okra pods into rounds if desired.
- Soak the okra: Soaking the okra in water for 30 minutes before roasting helps to reduce the okra's sliminess.
- Coat the okra in oil and spices: Toss the okra with olive oil, salt, pepper, and any other desired spices. This will help the okra to roast evenly and develop a flavorful crust.
- Roast the okra at a high temperature: Roasting the okra at a high temperature (400°F or higher) will help to caramelize the okra's natural sugars and give it a crispy texture.
- Roast the okra until tender: The okra is done roasting when it is tender when pierced with a fork. This usually takes about 15-20 minutes.
- Serve the okra hot or at room temperature: Roasted okra can be served hot as a side dish or appetizer, or at room temperature as part of a salad or grain bowl.
Conclusion:
Spicy roasted okra is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as a side dish, appetizer, or snack. It is a good source of fiber, vitamins, and minerals, and it is also a low-calorie food. With its crispy texture and flavorful spices, roasted okra is a surefire hit at any gathering.
