Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 grams Fresh okra
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 medium Lemon
- 3 large Garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Rinse the okra under cold water and pat dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels. Trim the stems off each okra pod.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, juice of the lemon, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and dried oregano.
Add the trimmed okra to the bowl and toss until all the pods are well coated with the olive oil mixture.
Place the okra directly on the preheated grill grates. Grill for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until the okra is tender and charred to your liking.
While the okra is grilling, finely chop the fresh parsley.
Once the okra is done grilling, remove from the grill and transfer to a serving platter.
Sprinkle the grilled okra with the chopped parsley for added freshness and flavor.
Serve immediately while still warm, optionally with extra lemon wedges on the side for squeezing.
