"Okra"homa & Other Fresh Veggies . . .

I have discovered that oven roasted fresh garden veggies are delicious!

I few summers ago I started oven roasting fresh green beans.

They are so-o-o delicious! Very sweet & nutty flavored.

Basically I roast veggies on a cookie sheet that has been sprayed with Pam.

Load your sheet with your vegetable of choice. Spray veggies with Pam or drizzle lightly with olive oil & season with salt & pepper.

Sometimes I add other seasonings such as garlic powder or Cajun.

Cook at 425 degrees for 25 or 30 minutes.

Okra is also very tasty roasted in the oven.

The finished product is very similar to fried, but of course much healthier!

Our garden is producing tons of okra so I'm busy freezing some for future use.

I had enough today to freeze a large bag &

also oven roast a batch for dinner tonight.

First cut up your okra in small pieces.

This 8 cup bowl will fill up a large zip-lock bag.

Add a little corn meal. . .

and a little flour.

Don't forget to add your seasonings of choice.

Now, into the freezer!
