- 3 large Garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Step 2
Rinse the okra under cold water and pat dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels. Trim the stems off each okra pod.

While the okra is grilling, finely chop the fresh parsley.
