Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound fresh okra, trimmed
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 3 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 1 small lemon, juiced and zested
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Place the trimmed okra in a large bowl.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, lemon zest, salt, and black pepper.
Pour the olive oil mixture over the okra and toss well to ensure each piece is evenly coated.
Thread the okra onto skewers, leaving a little space between each piece for even cooking.
Place the skewers on the preheated grill and cook for about 8-10 minutes, turning frequently for even grilling, until the okra is tender and has grill marks.
Remove the skewers from the grill and transfer the okra to a serving platter.
Sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving.
Enjoy the okra hot as a tasty and tangy side dish!
