Perfectly seasoned, this oven roasted okra may be the best you ever had! Baked in a hot oven with coconut flakes and spices, it has an unbeatable taste and texture. So simple, quick and easy.
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit.
Rinse the okra and pat dry using paper towels. Trim the tips and stem ends (only the very end). Slice the okra pods lengthwise, through the center. Cut into half if desired.
Transfer sliced okra to a large bowl. Add olive oil, coconut flakes, garlic, red pepper flakes, cumin, salt and toss to coat well.
Place okra slices in a single layer on a parchment paper lined baking sheet. For Indian style okra place the slices close together. And for a more dry okra, space them apart.
Roast until the edges turn crisp and brown, but tender in the center and gives off a nice roasted aroma, about [timer minutes=15]15 minutes[/timer]. Stir in between if needed. Transfer to a platter and serve immediately.
