Blistered Okra is a simple and scrumptious way to roast okra that will have you craving it over and over again!

Blistered Okra

We’re from Oklahoma, so okra has always been a staple in our lives, especially in the summer. Up until a few months ago, the only way I’d really ever eaten okra was fried. My mom and grandmas all fried up some of the best okra that I’ve loved since I was old enough to eat real food. Yum! Yum!

We were at the farmer’s market a few months ago and the most beautiful okra caught our eyes and we knew we had to bring some home for dinner that night. It was just too beautiful to batter and fry, so Brandon came up with the idea to blister it in the oven.

Just 15 minutes in the oven followed by a toss in a little lemon juice and parmesan cheese and the most delicious okra you’ll ever sink your teeth into will be ready to devour.

We’ve made it so many times in the past few months because okra is in season and this way of cooking and eating it, is oh so scrumptious. We’ll make it as an appetizer or a side dish and even our boys love ‘em!

They’re too easy not to try! So even if you or someone in the family is okra-adverse, you should at least give them a chance. I might even bet you that everyone will love them!

Enjoy!
