Roasted Okra

okra (or frozen chopped)

onion

salt

Optional seasoning: 1/2 teaspoon cumin, turmeric; minced serrano chile

Of using fresh okra, slice into pieces a little thinner than 1/2 inch. If using frozen okra, do not thaw.

Toss okra (fresh or still-frozen) with onion, oil, salt and any additional seasonings until evenly coated. Spread onto a baking sheet and roast at 425ºF for 15-20 minutes (fresh) 35-45 minutes (frozen) until well-cooked and toasted. Serve hot.

Worked great. How can I get a signed  copy of your  cookbook?

Excellent! I prefer cooking with fresh vegetables, but due to the covid-19 situation, I've had to purchase Frozen in order to prevent extra trips to the grocery store. Recipe came out great. I really appreciate that on your recipe you have tips for fresh or frozen options. Thank you for that and thank you for this. Every other recipe where I use frozen okra hasn't come out right, and I know it's because I didn't cook it long enough.

Was looking for a different way to cook some frozen okra. Found this recipe and I absolutely love it! Made this last night and making another batch today!! I added a chopped fresh jalapeño to it, cumin, cayenne pepper and seasoned salt. Amazing! Tha k you for this recipe!!

I just made the recipe..... very delicious 😋😋 had it for a healthy snack....will definitely make it again real soon.😋😋😋🤤

I made this with frozen okra and it was great! I agree with Tiffany- it’s great that you shared instructions for both fresh and frozen okra.
I used salt, cumin and turmeric for the spices. I definitely plan to make this again.

Great Recipe. You can even make an Indian version of this dish if you add cumin powder, red chili powder and Dry coriander powder( local Asian/Indian store).

Yummy outcome. I did broil for 10 min after 20 min of baking fresh okra. It got that crispy texture and flavor I was looking for

I made this with fresh okra &amp; used everything but the bagel seasoning &amp; it was delicious!!!!

I’ve been craving okra and fresh okra is not too readily available as much as I’d like. I was SO happy to see the recipe works with frozen. Yay! I used whole frozen okra with all the recommended seasoning? Yum! It is going to be a definite repeat! It was a huge hit! Thank you!

I made the recipe according to the directions given.  The taste was great.  Many of the smaller pieces of okra were heavily charred, however.  I think I need to adjust the cooking time in my oven.  I used frozen sliced okra at 425 degrees for 40 minutes.  I will definitely try this again.  I really liked the taste of the okra.

A downside to stockpiling for the pandemic is buying two packages of frozen okra when you already had two and a half packages at home! I make a chicken creole that obviously calls for okra and I intended to make it a couple times while we are isolating this Winter; the recipe only takes half a package so....I ran across this recipe and LOVED it. I used olive oil and added 1/2 teaspoon each of cumin and turmeric. It only took about 30 minutes rather than 35. Good thing it's low in calories because I ate the whole 12 ounces with my (canned) salmon cake ;)

Thank you so much for the guidance on roasting frozen okra in the oven. I’m as southern as country cornbread, yet I love trying new recipes. This one hit the jackpot! We absolutely loved it. So delicious and healthy. 
I’ll be using this recipe often.

I am so stoked to see someone else do something other than fried (even though I can easily founder on fried okra)!  I love okra, crave it at times.  It’s delicious, low in calories, and high in fiber.  My favorite way is tossed in olive oil and grilled with a touch of s and p.  I stab about 10-12 pods on a skewer for easy flipping the same way I do asparagus.  I also like to sauté it with onions an garlic for a frittata or a quiche too.  I moved from Texas to Cali about 21 years ago and you can’t find fresh okra here very easily.  I’m forced to grow my own.

I love okra, and I even LOVE the collagen for my joints! Really helps. How do I cook OKRA without losing the gelatinous part my body needs? Perhaps don't slice it up, but cook whole?
Then the outside might be crispy and would still get my lovely gelatin?

Since I didn't feel like chopping onions, I substituted some jarred minced garlic and used a little onion salt and fresh ground black pepper. Then, when I took it out of the oven, I added a generous topping of shredded Parmesan and let the heat soften the cheese. Exquisite!!

This is probably my fav okra recipe. There's little mess but all the flavor. I use a large cast iron pan in the oven and give it a stir a couple times during cooking. Mostly I use frozen okra that's already cut, but I use fresh whole okra when it's in season.

Great recipe, thank you so much!  Terrific alternative to the carb and calorie-laden breaded and fried okra.  

My only tweak is that when roasting vegetables, my preferred seasoning is to mix a package of onion soup mix into the oil then shake up in a big plastic bag to coat everything.  The bags they give you to put your veggies in at the grocery store work great for this.

A-mazing! So simple to prepare. And the results far exceed any old corn meal fried okra. Wow. Thanks for opening my eyes --and especially my palate!!!!
