This roasted okra recipe is so simple and easy. Stewed okra is great, but we like to roast ours from time to time for a little variety. Okra tends to be less gummy or slimy when roasted. A good Southern gardener needs okra recipes. In season, I find myself bringing in okra by the armload nearly every other day. Chopped tomato makes a great addition when we have some handy.
