Grilled Okra

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 pounds fresh okra pods
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon lemon pepper seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon seasoned salt
  • Lemon wedges, for serving

Cooking Instructions

Step 1: Trim the stem ends from the okra pods.

Step 2: In a large bowl, combine the okra, oil, lemon pepper, and seasoned salt.

Step 3:

  • Grill (Option 1): Preheat a grill (charcoal or gas) to a high heat (450 – 500 degrees F).  Place the okra directly on the grill grates.  Cook for 3 to 5 minutes, until grill marks form.  Using a pair of tongs, flip the okra to cook the other side, 3 to 5 minutes more, until the okra is charred all over and tender.
  • Grill Pan (Option 2): Heat a large grill pan over medium-high heat.  Add the okra in a single layer.  Cook for 3 to 5 minutes, until grill marks form.  Using a pair of tongs, flip the okra to cook the other side, 3 to 5 minutes more, until the okra is charred all over and tender.

Step 4: Serve immediately with lemon wedges.
