Delicious grilled okra is ready in just a few minutes, and the grilling eliminates the sliminess typical to this tasty vegetable. Serve it alone, or with a tasty dipping sauce.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb. fresh okra ((350 grams after trimming))
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon Diamond Crystal kosher salt ((use less if using fine salt))
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Directions

  1. 1

    Heat your grill on medium-high. You can use a dual-contact indoor grill such as a George Foreman grill, a grill pan like I do in the video below, or an outdoor grill.

  2. 2

    Rinse the okra and dry it using a clean kitchen towel. Trim the ends.

  3. 3

    Place the okra in a large bowl and toss it with the olive oil, salt, pepper, and garlic powder.

  4. 4

    Transfer to the hot grill. Grill until tender, 5 minutes if using a George Foreman grill, or a total of 10 minutes, turning requently, if using a grill pan or an outdoor grill.
