Roasted Okra

Author's Note: I bought way too much okra at the South Carolina State Farmers Market last week. I've pickled it. I've made soup with it. I've fried it. I've stewed it. I've made pilau with it. Today, I roasted it. Roasting is simple and creates an intensely flavored result. If you like okra, you will like it prepared this way. Roasting the okra makes it a little less slimy than steaming or stewing it. Next time, I will roast some grape tomatoes along with the okra.

INGREDIENTS
fresh okra, ends trimmed
olive oil
Kosher salt
pepper

DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 425 degrees.

Place whole okra pods in a large bowl. Drizzle with a little olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper; toss well. Spread okra in a single layer on a baking sheet. Roast in oven for 10 minutes. Remove from the oven, stir okra and return to the oven. Roast 5 more minutes.
