Ingredients

500 grams okra
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon garlic powder
0.5 teaspoons ground cumin
0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper
0.5 teaspoon salt
0.5 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 220°C (430°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Wash the okra thoroughly and pat it dry with a clean kitchen towel. Trim off the stems and slice each okra lengthwise in half.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, ground cumin, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to form a spice marinade.

Step 4

Add the okra to the bowl and toss until all the pieces are evenly coated with the spice marinade.

Step 5

Spread the seasoned okra in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are not overlapping to ensure even roasting.

Step 6

Roast in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, flipping the okra halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy on the edges.

Step 7

Remove the roasted okra from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving. Enjoy as a healthy snack, side dish, or addition to your favorite meals!
