Introduction

This simple recipe was recommended by a friend that found a way to make okra that tastes like fried okra, but fewer calories.... This simple recipe was recommended by a friend that found a way to make okra that tastes like fried okra, but fewer calories....

Ingredients

    40 Okra Pods approx 3" each(fresh, not frozen)
    2 TBS olive oil
    Salt and Pepper to taste or Seasoned salt ( I use Jane's Crazy Mixed-Up Salt)
    8 Bamboo skewers

Directions

1. Soak the Bamboo skewers in water. Wash and dry the okra. Put approx 10 pods on 2 skewers like a ladder. You will have 4 "ladders". This makes it easier to turn on the grill.\
2. Paint the Okra with Olive Oil and then season with salt to taste.
3. Place on a hot grill for approx 5 minutes per side.

Note. I like mine just almost burned... that makes them taste more like fried okra. My kids LOVE this and ask for it during the summer.

    Incredible!
    Yummy! I don't even skewer them before grilling. This is now my favorite way to cook okra! Have you tried seasoning with garlic powder? Yummm! - 7/23/17
