Best Method
OVEN
Roast 425°F, 15-20 min.
High-heat roasting reduces slime and gives great char. Hands-off and consistent. Pan-frying also reduces slime but requires more attention.
Secondary Method
STOVETOP
Pan fry med-high 8-10 min.
Pro Tip
Both methods reduce slime. Pan-frying is the Southern tradition. Stewed okra in gumbo is stovetop.
