Equipment
- Ziplock Bag , or Mixing Bowl
- Mixing bowl
- Grill
Ingredients
- 1 lb. fresh okra $4.23
- ½ cup white vinegar $0.20
- 1 Tbsp vegetable oil $0.19
- 1 tsp salt $0.01
- 1 tsp black pepper freshly cracked, $0.10
- ¼ tsp smoked paprika $0.05
- ¼ tsp garlic powder $0.03
Instructions
- Gather ingredients and preheat grill. Wash okra with a vegetable brush or clean washcloth to remove any dirt or fuzz.
- Pat dry and place in a large ziplock bag. Toss with vinegar and let it soak for 30 minutes. I like to use a ziplock because I just shake the bag whenever I walk past it in the kitchen to make sure every inch of okra sits in the vinegar for a bit. You could also put it in a mixing bowl and stir.
- After 30 minutes, drain and rinse the okra and pat dry.
- In a mixing bowl, toss okra with oil and spices.
- Grill 5-6 minutes per side until you see some charring and okra has softened.
- Flip and grill for an additional 5-6 minutes.
- Serve with grilled lemons, aioli, or eat as-is!
