Italian Baked Okra Spears Recipes

If you have picky eaters who worry about texture, roasted okra is marvelous. It's OK to crowd the pan. Okra shrinks as it cooks. -Anna Katsoulis, Greenville, North Carolina

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.

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.

Tired of the same ole, same ole ways of cooking okra, I decided to try something different and it was a zero-leftover hit with family and friends. I cooked it two ways - one was coated with bread crumbs and the other was not and that produced two really different textures and tastes out of the deal. The best thing was it passed the "slime test" for somebody who hates okra because they hate anything slimy or slippery in their mouth. I got a thumbs up from this person who usually refuses to eat okra. Regarding the Italian herb mixture, I used a refrigerated Italian Herb Paste that I found in the produce section rather than a dry herb seasoning mix. I cooked it until I could smell it then added 5 minutes being careful not to overcook the okra. Enjoy!

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.
