Grilled Okra

You came to the right place. I grill tons of it every summer.

Sprinkle the pods with a bit of olive oil and simply season with some salt, pepper and a bit of garlic powder. This is the blend I use but you can use whatever suits your taste. Get the grill hot first before oil and seasoning since the okra will absorb the olive oil a good bit.

Grill like any other vegetable. I like mine with grill marks and you want to take them off just before they start to split along the ribs. I grill on medium/high and it takes about 10 minutes to finish for my taste.

They will be soft and have a great grilled flavor and not really slimy like okra gets in a pot.

Forgot to ask. Just how much are the robber barons charging for okra in the markets in your area. I'm in N.O. and they are $3.99 a lb. at the local Rouses and Winn-Dixie stores.

Outrageous price for okra since it really doesn't come down during the summer months when in full production. I pick a couple pounds of it a day for almost 3 months every summer.

I have nothing to add except that I love grilled okra
