Ingredients

  • 1. Okra that weighs a pound with its stems neatly trimmed,
  • 2. A tablespoon of extra-virgin olive oil, or a bit more if required,
  • 3. A hint of paprika, adjust to your liking,
  • 4. A dash of garlic powder, personalize the taste,
  • 5. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to suit your palate,
  • 6. Add a pinch of cayenne pepper for a kick,
  • 7. Squeeze the juice of a lemon for a zesty twist,
  • 8. Sprinkle approximately a quarter teaspoon of freshly chopped rosemary as desired,
  • 9. As an option, include a quarter teaspoon of freshly chopped thyme for added flavor.

Step 1

Before you start, make sure to fire up your grill outside and give the grate a light coating of oil.

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, combine the okra with a drizzle of olive oil, sprinkles of paprika, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and a pinch of cayenne pepper. Toss everything together until the okra is nicely coated.

Step 3

Place the seasoned okra on the hot grill and let it cook until one side turns a vibrant green with those beautiful grill marks, which should take about 5 minutes. Then, flip the okra over, close the grill lid, and continue cooking until it reaches the desired tenderness, usually about 5 more minutes.

Step 4

Once the okra is done, transfer it to a nice serving bowl. Sprinkle some fresh lemon juice over the top, and garnish with fragrant rosemary and thyme for an extra burst of flavor. Enjoy your delicious grilled okra!
