A fast, simple, and delicious baked okra recipe that you can have prepped and in the oven in less than 5 minutes. It tastes just as good if not better than fried okra!
Preheat oven to 400°F (204°C). Place a sheet of foil or parchment paper onto baking sheet. (Most parchment paper can withstand temps between 420 - 450°F.
Cut off base of each okra pod, then slice the pods longways. (See pictures in article.) If you prefer smaller, bite-sized pieces, cut them into smaller pieces after slicing longways.
Put all ingredients into bowl and stir/toss them with large spoon or by hand. Then arrange pods seed-side up on covered baking sheet. (Don't pile the okra slices on top of each other!) Bake for 15 minutes on one side until lightly browned on bottom side (see photos in article). Using spatula and/or fork, flip each piece over and put back in oven for another 15 minutes, or until both sides lightly browned.
Serve warm and enjoy!
