Roasted Okra

dairy free glutenfree healthy recipe lowfodmap mee mccormick southern food vegan

Okra and the South go hand in hand. I grew bushels every summer, and at Pinewood Kitchen we cooked it every which way fried, stewed, and roasted. Folks who swore they hated okra always came around once they tried it roasted: crisp, savory, and never slimy. Fresh okra is low histamine and low FODMAP when eaten right away, but it doesn’t love to sit around leftovers can stir up trouble.

Adapt It Your Way: skip pepper or citrus if histamine-sensitive.

Ingredients

18 Fresh Okra Pods, sliced in rounds or left whole
2 tbsp of olive oil or avocado oil
2 tsp of sea salt
black pepper to taste

Instructions

Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large bowl, add okra, oil & sea salt and toss coating well.

Roast in the oven for 12-15 minutes until crispy but not charred.
