Directions
Heat your grill to high and give the grates a light brush of oil so the okra doesn’t stick. In a bowl, mix the okra with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and a pinch of cayenne for a little kick. Once the grill is hot, lay the okra out and let it cook until you see bright green pods with nice grill marks, about 5 minutes. Flip them over, close the lid, and let them cook another 5 minutes or so until they’re tender. When they’re done, transfer the okra to a bowl and squeeze fresh lemon juice over the top. Finish it off by sprinkling with rosemary and thyme for a fresh, zesty flavor.
How To Serve It Best
Serve alongside grilled meats or fish for a refreshing side. It also pairs well with rice dishes or can be added to a warm salad for extra zest and texture.
Storage Guide
Store leftover okra in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in a skillet or oven to keep it crisp without becoming soggy.
