Grilled Okra

🧂 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

1. 1

   Gather ingredients and preheat grill. Wash okra with a vegetable brush or clean washcloth to remove any dirt or fuzz.

2. 2

   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.

3. 3

   After 30 minutes, drain and rinse the okra and pat dry.

4. 4

   In a mixing bowl, toss okra with oil and spices.

5. 5

   Grill 5-6 minutes per side until you see some charring and okra has softened.

6. 6

   Flip and grill for an additional 5-6 minutes.

7. 7

   Serve with grilled lemons, aioli, or eat as-is!
