This skillet okra with garlic is the perfect side for you favorite Southern dish. If using fresh okra, go with the smaller pods. But I'll tell you, even a 1 lb bag of frozen okra works beautifully.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb okra (fresh or frozen)
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 tsp adobo all-purpose seasoning (I like Goya)
  • 1/2 tsp Kosher salt
  • 1/2 tsp fresh ground pepper

Directions

  1. 1

    If using fresh okra...cut the ends of the okra and cut into 1/2 inch slices. If using frozen, chopped....just open the bag.

  2. 2

    In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat.

  3. 3

    Add the okra, garlic, adobo seasoning, salt, and black pepper.

  4. 4

    Cook, stirring constantly, until tender and lightly browned, about 10 minutes.
