Instead of that, slice them in 1/3 - 1/2-inch circles and cook them on high heat in a cast iron skillet. And use a blackening spice blend. Takes a while to get there, but any slime that starts at the onset of cooking is quickly turned into flavor, (And dries up). I've been cooking okra this way, (and in gumbo), for over 30 years.

I have lived all over the world (Italy, Greece, Turkey, Brazil, Canada) and all over US (FL, COLORADO, MINNESOTA, NJ, NE and NY from NYC to Western NY to Capitol region and up near Montreal. Have had okra in many forms and types of stews. Never roasted until moved tonGeorgia and then not until going to farmers market where they roast whole okra over open wood fire in a screen bin that rolls them around over the fire in batches. IT IS THE BEST. Can never get enough. Note - when handling fresh okra it has a fine hair on it that some people can be allergic to. Gives you awful itching rash. May need to use surgical gloves. TRY ROASTED OKRA IT IS THE BEST.
