Okra

We have a few okra plants and I made our first harvest this week. I let them get too big, so they were a little tough. My secret recipe - straight off the internet a while back:

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit.

Step 2

Trim the ends off 1 lb. of okra pods and cut the pods into 1/2-inch slices. Rinse the slices thoroughly under cool water to eliminate some of the liquid from the okra.

Step 3

Place the okra in the baking dish and drizzle olive oil over the okra. Stir the okra slices to coat them with the oil.

Step 4

Add cumin, coriander, garlic powder, red pepper flakes and salt and stir to coat the sliced okra.

Step 5

Place the baking pan in the oven and bake the sliced okra for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the okra is crispy.
