Fresh snacks are the best summer treats!
-----------------------------------------------------------------
(WHAT YOU WILL NEED)
fresh okra
olive oil
salt/pepper
garlic powder
cajun seasoning
your favorite buttermilk ranch for dipping
Preheat oven to 450 degrees
Wash and cut up your okra--I cut it into rounds, but the smaller ones I cut lengthwise and expose the pretty seeds.
Place cut okra in a bowl, drizzle with a small amount of olive oil to coat, and sprinkle on seasonings. Mix and place on cookie sheet.
Bake at 450 degrees for approx 20 minutes until brown. They never get totally crispy because they're roasted (not fried) so they want to soften. This is okay because the char will make the crunch.
Serve immediately with buttermilk ranch.
