Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams okra
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cumin
- 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 220°C (430°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Wash the okra thoroughly and pat it dry with a clean kitchen towel. Trim off the stems and slice each okra lengthwise in half.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, ground cumin, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to form a spice marinade.
Add the okra to the bowl and toss until all the pieces are evenly coated with the spice marinade.
Spread the seasoned okra in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are not overlapping to ensure even roasting.
Roast in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, flipping the okra halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy on the edges.
Remove the roasted okra from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving. Enjoy as a healthy snack, side dish, or addition to your favorite meals!
