Ingredients:
- 1 lb okra – (look for young okra pods)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoom Cajun spice – (or more to taste, if you like things spicy)
- Optional: salt to taste – , if your Cajun spice does not contain salt
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 425F. Brush a medium-sized baking tray with 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
- Rinse the okra and let it dry completely and come to room temperature.
- Slice the ‘caps” off the okra. Toss the okra 1 tablespoon olive oil and then with Cajun spice. Season with salt if your Cajun spice does not contain salt.
- Roast the okra for 11-13 minutes (or longer, if you like softer vegetables), tossing halfway through so that the bottom does not burn.
