Spicy Roasted Okra
"Modified from dallasnews.com's recipe by Tina Danze, published: August 10, 2011. NOTE: Recently I saw a tip on America's Test Kitchen (or Cook's Country) to use frozen okra (thawed and blotted dry) in recipes, because decent fresh okra is hard to find in grocery stores!"

This recipe was so simple and easy I did not use the cayenne pepper but I used sumac that give it the kind of tart taste oh so good. Thanks to my daughter Chermonthia Grant for sharing this. -

So excellent! I've never roasted okra, and was very interested in trying this recipe. My okra turned out very tender and flavorful, although they didn't look like they had as much seasoning on them as your photo. I used fresh okra from a community garden, so it was just perfect. I was very happy I picked this unique recipe, one that I'll make again. Thanks for sharing! Made for Rookie tag game. -
This is now my favorite way to make okra! I had large fresh ones and used a few different pre-mixed spice varieties (Club House "Le Grill" & "Signature Blends") to coat, and shook about 2 tablespoons on to get a good amount on 32 pieces. They were quite big so they took about 20 minutes. Thank you for posting this recipe!
