Roasted Okra ( Better than Fried Okra!!)

[@Mphscat]

I'm thrilled to see you use what you call "tallow" instead of toxic seed oil. I grew up on bacon grease and butter but here in DFW we get lard from the hispanic meat market. It's so much better for your health. And there's nothing better than cast iron. Well done with this video!!!

[@TheHomesteadingHousewife]

@@Mphscat thank you!

[@Piynar1]

Baked eggplant, onion and okra, making salad of them is so delicious! Mixed them, chopped garlic, diced garden fresh tomato, green Italian parsley, olive oil, salt and lime juice. One of best healthy salad✔✔

[@TheHomesteadingHousewife]

This sounds amazing!!!!

Thank you for what I did learn today If you don’t have nothing nice to say Don’t criticize ..this young person took the time to teach something useful Kindness goes a long way

[@RMitch-vc5uq]

I was just telling my mom about how I wanted to learn to can and pickle fresh veggies. Thank you so much for your informative videos. Nowadays the old ways of prepping and preserving food is much needed information.

[@TheHomesteadingHousewife]

You're welcome!! I'm so glad you are finding them helpful. And I agree, now more than ever these skills are so valuable!

[@amazinggracefields]

What is tallon?

[@TheHomesteadingHousewife]

Tallow. Rendered beef fat

[@mscekennedy]

Looking on your playlists and can't find pickle okra. Do you have a video that I can't find? Many thanks in advance.

[@TheHomesteadingHousewife]

I do not. I need to make one. I have pickles I believe and my homemade pickling spice

[@catherinegrace2366]

I’m going to give this a try. I don’t usually like okra but I grew some for a family member and the okra is producing beautifully. I save my seed first and eat whatever is left over. In ready to cook some okra - thank you - CG

[@TheHomesteadingHousewife]

You'rewelcome! I hope you like it

[@catherinegrace2366]

The Homesteading Housewife I’m harvesting okra and KZbin in between breaks. You know how it is. 🤣 New sub here!

[@TheHomesteadingHousewife]

Glad to have you! And yes I know all too well🤣🤣

[@laurawoodward9466]

What a clever idea! This is GREAT for diabetics who don't need the breading! Will be doing this! Thank you for sharing! 😍👍

[@songsalon7868]

How did you like the roasted Okra?

[@JastaAdventures]

Okra is also good raw, I discovered today--as long as you pick it young.

[@catherinegrace2366]

Krista Ogburn I like to eat seeds while I’m shelling the okra to save my seeds. I like them!

[@lindabonner4532]

When my okra get to big to slice I open the pod up by slicing down the sides and removing the seeds to use and throw the pod away. My family loves fresh or frozen okra seeds in beef and vegetable soup.

[@TheHomesteadingHousewife]

That's an amazing idea!!!! I love the seeds but never thought to do this!!

[@SkyvalReam]

How crispy does this really get? I think I'm expecting too much. When I try it, it starts burning before it gets as crispy as I'd hope.

[@TheHomesteadingHousewife]

I can get mine fairly crispy in the cast iron when I do it. The inside on thicker pieces may not be entirely crispy, but all in all I find them pretty crispy. Maybe cook them at a lower heat for longer, every stove is different so maybe it's just getting too hot and burning before crisping

[@sallysmiles6088]

Can you do that with frozen okra?

[@TheHomesteadingHousewife]

Yes you can! The time to cook is going to vary but it's still delicious

[@susannebrule3160]

I love fried okra I'll have to try it in the oven. Looks delicious!

[@TheHomesteadingHousewife]

Thank you! I look forward to okra every year!!

[@makeitintorecap]

I'm eager to try this. I mostly eat okra in gumbo, where I overload it with okra. I love it pickled and fried too. That tomato looks great and natural. Some of the tomatos in stores have been crossed with pumpkin genes to make them easier to ship across the country--I think those taste horrible--local is best! Carbs in vegetables are called Complex Carbs=the good kind. Simple Carbs like sugar and white flour are the kind that eventually get stored as fat if you don't burn them with exercise.

[@TheHomesteadingHousewife]

This is such great info! I agree that store bought tomatoes are flavorless. It's so nice to hear of someone else that loves okra, not many people do in my circle of friends, I'm the odd one

[@arthurherrera9880]

i,m a beginner cooker. you didn't say at what temp to set oven and for how long?

[@TheHomesteadingHousewife]

I believe I did it for 375. I apologize. I will say that time will depend on the oven. I often go by smell when I am cooking something in the oven. If it smells good then I check it and start checking every few minutes because my oven is finicky.

[@judithastiasuain3370]

I have never roasted okra. I don't really like fried foods much. I am eating the roasted okra just how you taught it. I can't thank you for a new dish that I will love for many years.

[@TheHomesteadingHousewife]

You are most welcome 😊 I am so glad you liked it!!

[@judithastiasuain3370]

I will keep watching for what you teach next. @@TheHomesteadingHousewife

[@caribbeanguytrinbago9662]

What is the name of the oil/fat you used ?

[@TheHomesteadingHousewife]

I used tallow I rendered from the cow we had butchered.

[@phoebemckenzie5707]

i will try it for me i am thinking that it will still taste slimy husband has to have it cooked really done

[@TheHomesteadingHousewife]

My husband wouldn't eat okra if it was the last thing on earth hah but he always says my roasted okra smells delicious

[@AnovaLisaDragonfly]

That looks really good! I oven roast all kinds of veggies, but never thought about roasting okra, and I love okra! It’s October now, but if I find some okra at the market today, I’m fixing this tonight. Thanks for sharing this technique.

[@TheHomesteadingHousewife]

You're welcome!!

[@AnovaLisaDragonfly]

Update 2 months after my original comment: I’ve oven-roasted okra 3-4 times now. I love it, and so does my 8yo son. It will continue to be a roasted veggie recipe I prepare on a regular basis.

[@TheHomesteadingHousewife]

@@AnovaLisaDragonfly that is wonderful!!

I'll be sure to show them in my next garden update!!

[@moonchildfarm127]

I love okra too, never thought of roasting it! Yum! Aren't those big ones too hard? I don't mind the seeds but mine feel like tree bark if they get that big, LOL

[@TheHomesteadingHousewife]

No they weren't tough yet any bigger and I think they would have been lol. I hate the thought of wasting them so I probably would have still tried to eat them anyways haha

[@moonchildfarm127]

I tried this last night and it was awesome!

Clean your stove girl

[@TheHomesteadingHousewife]

Thank for the comment! It's not dirty. It's old and the coating is coming off.

[@721mgm]

This is how I've always cooked mine, but we never called it "roasting" (and I still won't).. It's still fried Okra, just without the batter. Roasting is the action of cooking something in an oven or over an open fire. Words are important.

[@romeredubost6971]

Dude, they are roasted...she put them in the oven! Words matter, acting like you created the English word dictionary. She hearted your comment so kudos to her.

@636lover1 you can't cook either

[@d.lawrence5670]

Please change you title. It's misleading. This is fried okra, because you used solid oil in the pan. It is not roasted. Roast means to cook with a dry heat.

[@odd3899]

Roast- exposure to heat in an oven etc.. No mention of what ingredients you place in the pan. When roasting cuts of meat, sometimes liquids are added. That does not negate the fact you are still roasting.

[@romeredubost6971]

What a dick...Not true

[@denko44]

😂 what the hell peeps. It's a bomb recipe, if you have a problem with roasted.. call it fried. Problem solved 😂

[@lorlorashlee3262]

Show me where it hurts buddy. It must hurt somewhere if you felt the need to leave this comment. Where did she hurt you big fella. Roasting also means when you tease someone. Maybe she was teasing the okra ... who knows... either way why be a jerk
