Grilled Okra

Course Side Dish
Cuisine Southern
Prep Time 5 minutes
Cook Time 20 minutes
Total Time 25 minutes

Ingredients

  • 12 ounces okra, washed
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. In a large ziplock bag combine all of the ingredients. Shake the bag to coat the okra. Store the bag in the refrigerator until you are ready to grill. This can be prepped up to 24 hours in advance.

  2. Preheat the grill to 400F, or medium-high heat.

  3. Place the okra directly on the grill grates. Cook 2-5 minutes per side, checking them often. If you have winter okra, they will likely be bigger and closer to 5 min. For smaller, summer okra, they will cook faster. 

  4. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Recipe Notes

Okra can be prepped up to 24 hours in advance, but should not be grilled until right before eating.
