It’s incredibly simple and straightforward to make this roasted okra recipe. Although okra is delicious stewed, we occasionally prefer to roast ours for a bit of variety. When roasted, okra is less gooey or slimy. A good grower in the South needs okra recipes. When okra is in season, I find myself bringing it in almost every other day. When we have some on hand, chopped tomato makes a fantastic addition.

Yummy!
Horrible. Super stringy and inedible.
Easy and simple. How do you get any better than that?
This was very good. Baked it in cast iron pan. Used “everything” seasoning rather than other seasonings.
I didn’t put nearly the amount of salt. I sprinkled it with nature’s seasoning and I like it cooked longer so probably 25 minutes to make it crunchy/chewy
I know when cooking any okra, except fried. You need to add a cut up tomato or some white vinegar, to cut the slime Something acid. Like when you smother okra in a cast iron skillet you need to add a tomato or a little white vinegar . I made this and tossed the okra, oil, and a little vinegar in a bowl, before cooking. It was good and crispy..
Wow! Easy-Peasy! I used a bag of pre-chopped, frozen okra. Did not thaw them. Tossed them in a bowl with olive oil, kosher salt, pepper and a sprinkle of pepper flakes. Roasted them for 40 minutes. They were PERFECT!!!! Thank you!
Fantastic simple recipe. Fabulous. I used up air fryer instead of oven. Worked great.
Tastes great!!!
Wow! Everything I love about okra without the extra carbohydrates from cornmeal or bread crumbs. Yay!!!
The ease of making this is right up my alley. Only thing I’d change…reduce the salt!
As written, this recipe is 100% inedible! 2 tsp of salt and pepper is WAAAAAAAAAYYYYYY TOO MUCH for 18 okra pods. I’ll try it again with maybe ¼ tsp of each. Terrible waste of a batch of okra. I would have spotted this error had I been the one actually preparing the meal, however, I just sent it to my daughter, a less experienced cook, as something new to try. Should have paid more attention.
Way too much salt. I used a bag of frozen chopped okra that I thawed in running water in a colander. Only used 1 tsp of kosher salt and it was still way too salty. Took a lot longer than the recipe stated. I got tired of waiting after 40 minutes so I took it out. Probably won’t make again.
This was really good, much better than I expected. I didn’t expect it to be so light and crunchy. Definitely the best okra I have had!
Being from Oklahoma, I grew up on Fried okra but these days I don’t eat fried foods so I wanted to TRY this recipe to see how I liked it! Turns out I LOVED IT. I did roast it 20 minutes because I wanted it crunchy (like fried). I tossed it in a bowl with EVOO and the salt and pepper first and the. Put it on a foil lined cookie sheet. YUM! I’ll go back for MORE okra before the season is over!
This roasted okra was wonderful! I enjoy okra any way, in gumbo, sautéed with tomatoes, fried! I purchased some fresh okra from the farmers market over the weekend and oven roasted it per the recipe. I did cut the pods lengthwise. The flavor was terrific.
Amazingggg loved it! I’m pakistani and the way we make okra at home is more of a curry kinda thing. Okra has been my least favourite vegetable but dude this recipe was fabulous! Loved the crunch plus it was so easy to prepare! Tastes so much like corn
One of the best ways to eat okra. Delicious snack.
I have been making this recipe for about 3 years now!! I love these okra! I do not use that much salt! For me, that is way too much. Otherwise, love, love, love these!
Roasted Okra by ncope. Four cups okra per recipe. Roasted, but friedtasting, 30 mins.
Oh this is soooo good! I put a little shredded Parmesan on it while it was hot…thought I might eat the whole bowl myself!!!!
