A quick &amp; easy roasted okra recipe, charred on a grill or hot skillet and brushed with an umami glaze &amp; sprinkled with a Xinjiang spice mix. This recipe can be made with a BBQ or a very hot cast iron skillet pan.

Roasted Okra Recipe

okra ((approx. 350 grams))

honey

cumin seeds ((ground

Korean pepper flakes

sesame seeds

garlic garlic

Sichuan peppercorns

I personally do not like to wash my okra because any type of moisture on it will make them slimy.If you want to wash your okra, make sure you dry it very well until all the water has been completely wiped off with a towel.

In a small bowl, mix together 1 1/2 tablespoon oyster sauce and 1 1/2 tablespoon honey and set aside for later

In another small bowl, combine 1 1/4 teaspoons cumin seeds, 1 tablespoon Korean pepper flakes (or Chinese chili flakes), 1 1/2 teaspoons toasted sesame seeds, 1/2 tablespoon powdered garlic, and 1/4 teaspoon Sichuan peppercorns (optional). Set it aside for later.If you are using Sichuan peppercorns or whole cumin, use a mortar and pestle or food processor and crush them into smaller pieces.

Preparation

Set the BBQ to the highest setting possible and let it pre-heat

Skewer the okra. If you have metal skewers, use these instead of wooden ones. Since you are charring it on very high heat, the sticks may burn. I don&#39;t recommend soaking the wooden skewers since that will add moisture to the okra which will make it slimy.

Once the BBQ is hot, add the okra on and grill them for 2-3 minutes per side or until they are charred and brown. Keep flipping it to prevent the sticks from burning.

Once they are done remove them from the BBQ and set them on a plate.

Grill The Okra (Option 1)

Set the stove to high heat and place the cast iron skillet on until it gets really hot. You don&#39;t need to add oil to the pan.

Once the pan is very hot, add the okra on and char it for about 2-3 minutes a side until they are brown or charred.

Once they are done, remove them from the skillet and set them on a plate

Roast the Okra on a Cast Iron Skillet (Option 2)

Brush the umami glaze on the okra and sprinkle the spice mix on and enjoy immediately.
