Notes
- Any dried herb or spice can be used instead of oregano
- Adjust quantities of the herbs and spices to suit your liking
- The okra tips will brown quicker as they are thinner
- Roasted okra will still be soft on the inside with crispy outsides
- Okra naturally is slimy, this is normal
- Optional - turn okra around the 15min mark during roasting
- Roasting okra in oven is easy, however watch out at the end as they can burn quickly
- After washing okra, be sure to dry well with a paper towel, leaving no moisture
- Try and avoid the large okra, as these are woody with stringy bits
- Select green okra without any brown spots, these tend to be older
- Using same sized okra pods will ensure all pieces are cooked evenly (as larger okra will take longer to roast)
