Notes
- The seasoning for roasted okra
This recipe uses paprika, garlic powder, and salt to season the okra. Another seasoning that works very well is berbere, which is a flavorful spice blend. If you choose to use it, substitute ½ teaspoon of berbere seasoning for the paprika. You can also add about ⅛ teaspoon of cayenne pepper if you want a little heat.
- How to store and reheat it
Store the garlic roasted okra in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It will stay fresh for about 3–5 days. To reheat, place the okra on a baking sheet and warm it in the oven for a few minutes. You can also reheat it in the microwave, stirring occasionally, until heated through.
