Simple Roasted Okra

Serves 4-6

Author: Steph Jenkins
Ingredients
  • 7-10 medium-size fresh okra, sliced into coins (see photos)
  • 1/2 medium onion, sliced (I like red onion)
  • 1 clove garlic, minced (or 1/4 tsp garlic powder)
  • 1 1/2 - 2 cups green tomatoes, chopped (any size tomato works here. You can also use a combination of green and red tomatoes, but green tastes best)
  • 3/4 cup corn meal (feel free to use more or less, to taste)
  • 3-4 tbsp oil (melted butter, avocado oil, or olive oil all work)
  • Salt, to taste
  • Pepper, to taste
Instructions

  1. In a medium-size container with a lid, combine all ingredients.

  2. Close lid tightly and shake vigorously to evenly coat vegetables with oil, corn meal, and seasoning.

  3. Check vegetables and adjust cornmeal, oil, and seasoning as needed (Use the photo above as a guide. You want the vegetables evenly coated but not completely smothered).

  4. Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 20-35 minutes until okra is cooked thoroughly and cornmeal is lightly browned. Cooking times will vary depending on the thickness of your okra and breading.
