After reading a few reviews, I pretty much stuck with the original recipe. Sliced the fresh okra, put them in a bowl with some EVOO, laid out in one layer on foil-lined pan (for easy clean-up), sprinkled with creole seasoning and baked for 16 minutes at 425 degrees. Was darn tasty, but may cook it a bit longer next time for some crunchiness. My husband and teenage son both liked it. That's a good thing, because our okra plants are producing like crazy!

I never thought of eating okra this way, but its so much healthier and its still tasty like fried okra. I would highly recommend this to anyone, especially the health conscious!

This was a great way to cook the okra. It was very tasty and less slimy than other ways.

Loved it! I also kept mine in for longer to make them hard and crispy (about 40 minutes). Good substitute for french fries when made crunchy!

Can you say yummm? Great recipe... I saw the review that said too much salt. Sounds true. I never measure salt or pepper, so I didn't notice. I think it's better to toss olive oil, salt pepper in bowl rather than drizzling... My preference...

I have never eaten okra that wasn't fried or mixed in a gumbo, so I was very skeptical about a recipe that was so easy with such great reviews. I was thrilled with the taste of this okra! It was just as delicious as fried okra and is a calorie savings of about 140 calories per serving. I followed other reviewers and shook the okra, oil, salt, and pepper in a large bowl and put it on a baking sheet covered with foil (didn't spray the foil first). I baked them for about 20 minutes. I started with the amount of okra the recipe called for and could tell it was not enough for 2 adults and a serious okra loving 3 year old. I doubled the amount of okra and pepper, but kept the oil and salt to the recipe's specifications and it was SUPER! If you are a skeptical fried okra lover, take a chance and give this recipe a try - I know I'm glad I did. Thanks for posting such a great and simple side dish.
