Prep Time:15 minutes
Cook Time:20 minutes
Total Time:35 minutes

Ingredients

Okra:

  • 12 Ounces okra cut in half length-wise – cut larger okra in half widthwise as well.
  • 1 ½ Tablespoons olive oil
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon pepper
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder

Ranch Dressing

  • ¼ Cup Greek yogurt
  • 2 cloves black garlic minced
  • 1 Tablespoon pickle juice
  • 1 teaspoon dried dill
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon honey
  • ⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • ⅛ teaspoon ground cumin
  • ½ teaspoon pepper

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425℉. Add okra to baking tray. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Toss to coat evenly and then spread in single layer cut-side down. Roast for 20-30 minutes until cut sides are browned (check for doneness by carefully turning a couple of okra pieces over. They should be well-browned but not burned).
  • While okra is cooking make ranch by combining all dressing ingredients & stirring to blend.
  • Serve okra with ranch for dipping.

Notes

  • The dressing also is great on salads or with raw vegetables.
  • Be careful of pickle ingredients (for pickle juice in recipe). Pickles often contain fillers and natural flavors.
