On the same Louisiana Eats! episode in which we visited with Nick Usner and Homer Dutch, I shared this recipe for roasted okra. Roasting okra completely eliminates the slime for which so many people claim to hate okra. Instead, during the roasting process, the mucilaginous nature of the okra is transformed into a silken mouthfeel. I’ve converted many an okra hater with this recipe!
