Roasted Okra

(554)

A good Southern gardener needs okra recipes. In season, I find myself bringing in okra by the armload nearly every other day. Stewed okra is great, but for a little variety, we like to roast ours from time to time. This is so simple and easy and the okra tends to be less gummy or slimy when roasted. Chopped tomato makes a great addition when we have some handy.
