ingredients

1 pound fresh okra
1 tablespoon dark (Asian style) sesame oil or extra virgin olive oil
salt and pepper, to taste

directions

Preheat the grill to high.

Trim the tips off the stems of the okra, but do not cut into the pods. Lay 5 pieces of okra side by side in a neat row at the edge of a cutting board. Skewer crosswise with 2 bamboo skewers, one at the top, one at the bottom.

Lightly brush the skewered okra with sesame oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill the okra until tender and lightly browned, 3 to 5 minutes per side, turning once with a flat spatula.

Serve the okra at once, letting each guest remove the skewers.

  1. misohungry REVIEW:

    Fantastic recipe, had no idea you could grill okra. Simple yet very flavorful.

  2. izzy REVIEW:

    I used small okra, about the size of my little finger, I didn't have any sesame oil, so I sprayed the skewered okra with butter flavored Pam and put on a griddle for 3 minutes on each side and lightly salted. I was surprised how good they were. Will do it again. Thanks for the idea!
