Spiced Okra

Spiced Okra 3

Ingredients

3/4 tsp cumin-coriander powder

3/4 tsp ground paprika

1/4 tsp ground fennel seeds

1/8 tsp turmeric powder

1/8 tsp ground cinnamon

¼ tsp dried mango powder (amchur)

¼ tsp dried ginger powder

1/4 tsp salt

~1/2 tsp oil (I use a Misto spray, so I’m estimating the amount of oil)

1 lb okra, cut in half lengthwise

2 tbsp fresh lemon juice

cilantro (optional, to top)

Directions

1.  In a small bowl, mix the cumin-coriander powder, ground paprika, ground fennel seeds, turmeric powder, ground cinnamon, dried mango powder, ginger powder, and salt (see picture).

2.  Spray a 9x13 inch glass baking pan with oil.  Place the okra in a single layer in the baking pan (see picture).

3.  Broil the okra on the top rack of the oven for 7 mins.

4.  Remove from the oven and flip the okra over.  Broil again for 4 mins.

5.  Toss in the spice mix and try to coat the okra evenly.  Once well mixed, add the lemon juice and stir well.

6.  Optional: top with cilantro.  Serve hot!
