Summer’s Best Grilled Okra

Dish Description
The best healthy alternative to breaded fried okra. So good with fresh purple hull or field peas on a vegetable plate, or so good served as an appetizer with my ‘ComeBack My Way’ sauce!
Ingredients
  • cooking spray
  • 1 pound fresh okra
  • 1/4 cup canola oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

Directions
  • Preheat grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate. Prepare a grill basket with cooking spray.
  • Trim stem ends of okra close to the top without piercing the pods; put into a large bowl.
  • Drizzle canola oil over okra pods. Season okra with garlic powder, salt, and pepper; toss to coat. Spread okra into the prepared grill basket.
  • Cook on preheated grill, turning frequently, until tender and browned in spots, 4 to 6 minutes.
