Orange Balsamic Roasted Okra Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 lb okra (cut in half lengthwise)
• 1 teaspoon olive oil
• 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
• Zest and juice from 1 orange
• 1 1/2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 small garlic clove (very finely minced)
• Orange slices and fresh ground pepper (to serve)

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 450 degrees. Line a baking tray with parchment paper.

2. 2

   Roast okra: Toss the okra with the olive oil and sea salt and spread them out on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Roast the okra for 25 minutes.

3. 3

   Make glaze: While the okra is roasting, prepare the glaze. In a small frying pan over high heat, add the orange zest, orange juice, balsamic vinegar, honey, and garlic. Bring it to a boil and let it boil rapidly, whisking occasionally until it has reduced by half, about 5 minutes. If it reduces a little too much, just add another splash of orange juice or water.

4. 4

   Serve: Once the okra is nicely browned remove it from the oven and toss it with the orange glaze. Serve the okra with orange slices and a little fresh ground pepper.
