Have tons of Okra. What can I make?

Smothered chicken and okra (plus can of rotel+seasonings) served over rice.

Stewed Okra and tomatoes - which also freezes well.

The garbage truck if you hurry up and get them in the trash can and on the road tonight!!

Roasted in the oven
Pickled
Stewed with tomatoes onions peppers corn and shrimp

Okra and tomatoes/ stewed is my favorite. I also like to add them to pots of fresh peas and bean. Fried of course. Olive oiled, seasoned and grilled or roasted. Pickled okra for bloodies. Gumbo. And it freezes great. I think okra is under appreciated. I learned this because I’ve always planted too much of it and have learned what to do with it.

Grilling okra is very underutilized

I'll second this. I've been grilling okra for years and it is a favorite way to cook and eat them for many that I've turned on to it.

You can also smother it down with diced tomatoes, onions, garlic, a few splashes of Worcestershire and hot sauce and cook it on a low boil for about 2-3 hours. To add some moisture at the beginning, you can add plain water or even better, some stock.

I do about 5 gallons like this every summer and put it up in quart freezer bags to use in gumbo and soups I cook during the year.

ETA: Steamed okra whole and when done, hit them with lemon juice, olive oil, salt and pepper and you're good to go.

We do this, but on the grill (in a basket)

Another vote for grilled and pickline. I had a huge crop a few summers ago and put up several pints of pickled.
