Normally, I just keep it as a whole and just chew the okra and stop right before the top. These tops and ends are great for compost. Once ready, using a sieve, transfer the okra to the cold water to stop cooking.įor presentation purposes, I removed the ends and top then halved each. They will turn from bright green to a deeper color when ready. It only takes about 2-3 minutes to cook the okra. To cook the okra, you’ll blanch them as a whole. Add some oil and salt to the boiling water. Then, fill a pot with water and bring it to a boil. Next, prepare a bowl of cold or ice water.

My son loves okra especially when they are simply blanched and tossed in a soy sauce mixture. Honestly, I never thought of making many okra dishes at home until I have kids. Okra is also a common ingredient in Yong Tau fu (stuffed tofu), curries such as mixed vegetable curry, and stir-fries. This dish comprises okra, long beans or winged beans, stinky beans (petai), and eggplant that are tossed in a spicy sambal sauce. Okra is one of the four ingredients in a popular Malaysian dish called Four Heavenly King (四大天王, Sì dà tiān wáng). This humble green boasts amazing health benefits despite the slimy texture.

Whether I roast it in the oven or in the air fryer, this okra recipe takes less than a half-hour from start to finish and is a great side to almost any meal. This post gives a good overview on air frying different types of vegetables. I cooked it at a slightly lower temperature for the same length of time and it turned out perfect. I decided to try the air fryer on this okra recipe and it did not disappoint. It’s faster and doesn’t heat up the whole house. I’ve recently discovered that it’s super easy to roast vegetables in an air fryer. The one I have is a larger, stainless steel, multi-functional one resembling a toaster oven.
Since originally publishing this recipe I’ve acquired an air fryer. The kids figure it’s the perfect finger food and grab one to snack on as they walk by. I’ll set it on the stovetop then watch as it slowly disappears throughout the day. Sometimes we’ll roast a pan of it early in the day. The kids love eating it because it is simple enough for them to make. If the kids are helping, I let them use a crinkle cutter to cut the okra into chunks. If I prepare it, I just cut the tops off the okra and roast them whole. Toss it in a little bit of oil, sprinkle on some spices, and throw it in the oven. Roasting okra is just like roasting any other vegetable. You get a nice bit of crisp around the edges and a little bit of intense, toasty flavor. The rest of my family does too, so we make them that way a lot. I’m much more likely to make sides if it’s a fast and easy recipe, so this one’s a win. So the kids created this simple okra recipe. And we can only eat so much jumbolaya! Since we weren’t doing grains, eggs, or even grain-free batter at the time, I couldn’t make fried okra. They kept coming home with bags and bags of okra. One summer, when my kids were helping their grandparents harvest and preserve vegetables from their garden, the okra were producing like crazy.
