Whole Okra Roasted in the Oven

[@collarclatch6414]

Have no intention of making any okra. I just like Chef Buck.

[@susanrobinson408]

Me, either! But I can't miss my Saturday Chef Buck and Camera Girl show.

[@catherinejackson9022]

But it's good!

[@ChefBuckRecipes]

okra is pretty cool, though...

Love okra, just fried with onion and tomatoes and chilli add a squeeze of lemon to get rid of the slime. The health benefits are so good for you. Wanna try this recipe, never thought about baking them.

[@ChefBuckRecipes]

I never thought of just baking them either, but we had a big roasted pan of okra at my mother in law's and it was great...CG's family harvests quite a lot of okra every year, so they have to deal with it quickly or freeze it...many of CG's relatives live out in the country and they've all got stand alone freezers in addition to refrigerators

[@pamlspringa]

I am Indian and we cook it really different way with onion tomatoes and garlic plus seasoning but this looks great I would try it 😊

[@ChefBuckRecipes]

yes, bhindi curry is one of my favorite ways to enjoy okra (maybe my favorite)

[@franb56]

I roast a lot of veggies but, never thought of roasting okra! Love okra, slim and all! I and will definitely try this! Thanks for the tip and the laughs! You both always brighten my day! Love you and camera girl.

[@ChefBuckRecipes]

glad you enjoyed the vid--thanks for watching! I never thought of roasting okra either until my mother-in-law baked some up for us...it's an easy way to use okra up if you grow it

[@RobbsHomemadeLife]

Okra is an interesting plant. very easy to grow. I think you can even eat the blossoms. I would love to try making some okra pickles.

[@ChefBuckRecipes]

okra pickles are so good...CG's Georgia relatives grow a lot of okra and cucumbers...they can alot of pickles, but I don't know if they pickle okra...i've never had it if they do...CG's mom buys pickled okra at the store and I do my part to help her eat it

[@hardtruth2039]

Great video. I know this is awesome. I love to toss okra in olive oil or avocado oil, salt and pepper and then throw it on a nice hot charcoal grill and grill it until it chars slightly. Man oh man is it good. The charcoal adds some wonderful flavor.

[@danielclooney6248]

I love okra. I just throw it in a steamer and it's done in a few minutes. But this looks good too with the spray and garlic powder on it.

[@ChefBuckRecipes]

steamed okra? hmmmm....seems silly that I've never tried that, but I will....thanks for the suggestion

[@ICSpotz]

Thanks Buck, always on the look out for another Okra recipe...most recipes out there for okra is gumbos and I look for something different. Love okra as a gardener it is pest free and very productive, you have to check it almost every day because it grows so fast it can become tough if not picked regularly. I like roasting because it caramelizes the 'okra ooze' into something more palatable. I usually make a succotash like blend in a shallow enameled brazier with okra, Lima beans, onions, corn, smoked sausage and potatoes, I cube the potatoes first about an inch or so coat with oil and roast separately while I prepare the other ingredients. if you keep an eye on the okra and vegetable blend toward the end of roasting you can achieve a 'semi-caramelized' result but be careful not to over do it as it will burn. I add the roasted potatoes then serve.

[@ChefBuckRecipes]

sounds tasty! CG's relatives in Georgia end up having a mini-job every year trying to stay ahead of keeping the okra cut. One of my favorite ways to cook okra is this Indian curry dish kzbin.info/www/bejne/rWbce3-Aa92sg5I

it's definitely a no-muss no-fuss way to cook up some okra...I guess CG's relatives in Georgia have a hassle trying to figure out what to do with too much okra every year

[@TrevyTrev-andTheFunkyPets]

I have a bag of it and never know what to do with it ( except gumbo) thanks chef! My grams would bread & fry it. Yummy

[@ChefBuckRecipes]

my mama breads and fries it as well--she'd always make a meal of fried catfish, fried hush puppies, fried okra, and cole slaw...the cole slaw was probably the only reason we survived. CG and I used to eat out at country buffets when we lived in north Florida and they'd always have fried okra on the line

[@TrevyTrev-andTheFunkyPets]

Chef Buck Living in Oklahoma, Grams made fried okra with her Chicken fried steak ( cooked with Crisco ) miss that food

[@mamallama9813]

That looks really good. The only 3 ways I've ever eaten okra before are pickled, breaded and fried, or in a pot of gumbo. Guess I'm trying roasted now. 😁

[@ChefBuckRecipes]

those are probably the most popular ways to find okra, although I didn't discover pickled okra until later in life--I'm sure my mother-in-law wishes I'd never started eating all her pickled okra up

[@rubyrose940]

I am afraid of okra. I find okra intimidating 😊 But loved watching you make the recipe, and hearing Camera Girl in the background💕

[@ChefBuckRecipes]

I used to feel like that, I think....I remember my mom cooking okra when I was a kid and it always seemed like a weird food to me--but very tasty!...because my mom always sliced and breaded okra and then fried it in oil, which is a very popular preparation in the southern US, but most foods taste good when fried...I think I became less intimidated with okra when I realized that it can be eaten raw.

[@maem9246]

@@ChefBuckRecipes I have grown up on okra gumbo which is my favorite gumbo. I have grown okra in my flower bed and it is a treat.

Never had okra and don’t even remember seeing it in the grocery stores. But now if I see it I may buy a few to try in my salad since I like crunchy and you said they taste good raw as well. I hope you didn’t get grounded for putting your fingers in the cookie, I mean okra jar.

[@ChefBuckRecipes]

We went to the store yesterday and I bought 2 jars, I think that should keep me out of the dog house :^)

[@niacinberry5]

Hi new sub..what if the okra pods were split after washing and drying..and a lite dusting of tapioca or such and then baked til crispy brown..wouldn't that eliminate the gooey ? And make crunchy. treats seasoned before ..and or. after baking? I m going to try this next time okra comes to our very northern Maine stores!! Even the canned n frozen kinds. Thank you ..Moi from Maine. usa

[@ChefBuckRecipes]

breading and baking stuff for that faux fried feel is something I like to do, but I've never tried it with okra--if you give it a go, let me know how it works out!

[@jayhalley2642]

Okra in my mouth ? No thanks. Another CB video ? Yes please.

[@annakuman9595]

Please allow me to throw in extrea info here.... Mediterranean store carry frozen okra called Bameya. The size is numbered from zero 1 2 .. a combination of okra and dill is the best. We love the slimmy texture.. add a 1/4 of a small spoon of baking soda and you can't hold only with special bread called kisra looks like paper sheet Sudanese bread or Ethiopian bread called injera taste like sourdough.. You can google enjira and kesra or kisra. Hey thanks for sharing your video with us.

[@ChefBuckRecipes]

I love injera...wish I knew how to easily make it at home...I've researched it, but the true bread looks complicated to make well...I've made so-called "easy" versions of injera at home, but they were pretty poor efforts compared to the tasty bread we get out at Ethiopian restaurants....I of the things I miss most about living in Seattle is all of the Ethiopian dining choices we enjoyed there

[@annakuman9595]

@@ChefBuckRecipes Right- It just feels HOT. lol

[@suzqwest]

Chef Buck So I tried it in the air fryer. I’m going to have to do something different because it didn’t get crispy- it got chewy, and some of them split open. I guess I could have cooked it longer but I didn’t want it to get any more brown so I took it out. The flavor was really good, just chewy instead of crispy. I’m going to have to figure this one out- it’s okra season! 😋

[@eg1197]

Bough a bag of crispy crunchy okra from Trader's Joe. Omg 😵. TJ's fan were raving about them. It only had 3 ingredients: okra, salt and rice bran oil. Couldn't finish it because the type of oil completely ruined them. I had okra in the past we order fried catfish with 2 side. I always wanted some green okra. I enjoyed them. Depend how it's cook.

[@ChefBuckRecipes]

rice bran oil? ...I don't think I've ever tried that...my mother-in-law has grape seed oil in her cabinet and that stuff is not to my liking...it's supposed to be good for you, but my taste buds don't care
