Follow The Directions

01

Step
2 mins

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil and spray lightly with cooking spray. (2 minutes)

02

Step
5 mins

Place frozen okra and chopped onion on the prepared baking sheet; drizzle with canola oil. In a small bowl, combine onion powder, garlic powder, ground ginger, ground turmeric, curry powder, paprika, and salt. Sprinkle the spice mixture over the vegetables and toss to coat evenly. (5 minutes)

03

Step
34 mins

Roast in the preheated oven until the okra is tender and slightly browned, about 34 minutes. (34 minutes)

04

Step
1 mins

Remove from the oven and garnish with dried cilantro before serving. (1 minute)

For enhanced flavor, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the spice mixture for a touch of heat.
Feel free to experiment with other spices like cumin, coriander, or smoked paprika to customize the flavor profile.
If using fresh okra, reduce the roasting time by 5-10 minutes.
Ensure the okra is spread in a single layer on the baking sheet for even roasting.
