ROASTED OKRA



Roasted Okra image

As a good Southern gardener, 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 not be nearly as gummy or slimy when roasted. Chopped tomato makes a great addition when we have some handy.

This is a really easy recipe using frozen okra. Being a full-time employee and a mom of a toddler, I always look for easy and healthy recipes. This one has an Indian flavor to it. It's so easy to put together, and it turns out very well. When you roast the okra, you'll notice the slime goes away. That's what I really like about this recipe. You don't have to monitor it. Just put it in the oven, and it's done.

MARTHA ROSE SHULMAN'S ROASTED OKRA



Martha Rose Shulman's Roasted Okra image

My friend Marian Schwartz gave me the idea to roast okra. It's an ingenious strategy: No need to marinate the okra in salt and vinegar beforehand -- it develops a wonderful seared flavor in the hot oven, and it won't be gooey.

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Categories     easy, quick, side dish

Time 15m

Yield Serves four

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 pound okra
Salt to taste
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
Fresh thyme leaves to taste optional
Freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Rinse the okra, and drain on a kitchen towel. The okra should be dry. Trim away the stem ends and the tips, just the very ends, and then place the okra in a large bowl. Salt to taste, and toss with the olive oil until coated.
  • Lift the okra from the bowl, leaving behind any excess oil. Place on a sheet pan in one layer. Roast in the oven for 15 minutes (large okra might take a little longer), shaking the pan every five minutes. The okra should be lightly browned and tender, with a nice seared aroma. If you don't want it to brown as much, set the oven at 400 degrees.
  • Remove from the heat, toss with fresh thyme, if desired, and freshly ground pepper. Transfer to a platter. Serve hot.

This mixture makes a great snack-just salty and crispy and spicy enough to go along with an ice cold lager. And if you have some plain yogurt on hand, drizzle it on top or serve on the side for dipping.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 40m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

1 pound okra
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
One 14-ounce can chickpeas, drained

Spread the ingredients in a single layer and roast until the okra is tender when pierced with a knife and the chickpeas are crispy, 25 to 30 minutes. Season with salt. Toss together and serve while warm.

ROASTED OKRA AND ONIONS



Roasted Okra and Onions image

Buy the freshest, firmest okra you can find. Pick pods that are no bigger than your ring finger. Slicing them lengthwise just before you roast them will keep slime to a minimum. This basic technique is very accommodating. You can add quartered yellow squash or zucchini, or even a chopped up fresh tomato. The trick is to roast the vegetables until the edges of the onion begin to turn brown.

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 pound okra pods, washed, capped and cut in half lengthwise
1 Vidalia (or other sweet) onion, small, sliced into crescents
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
Chopped fresh basil and mint

Provided by LRay

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 pound fresh okra, halved lengthwise
3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 pt. grape tomatoes
1 pound peeled, large raw shrimp, deveined
1/2 teaspoon dried crushed red pepper
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

Steps:

  • Saute okra in 1 Tbsp. hot olive oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat 4 to 5 minutes or until lightly browned. Transfer okra to a large bowl. Add tomatoes and 1 Tbsp. oil to skillet; saute 3 minutes or until skins begin to burst. Transfer tomatoes to bowl with okra.

Stir in okra mixture, and sauté 1 to 2 minutes or until hot. Stir in salt, pepper, and parsley.

Tips:

  • Choose the right okra: Look for young, tender okra pods that are no more than 4 inches long. Avoid pods that are bruised or have blemishes.
  • Prepare the okra properly: Wash the okra pods thoroughly and pat them dry. Trim the ends of the pods and cut them into 1-inch pieces.
  • Season the okra well: Before roasting, toss the okra with olive oil, salt, and pepper. You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.

  • Serve the okra immediately: Roasted okra is best served hot and fresh. You can serve it as a side dish, or you can add it to salads, soups, and stews.
