Skillet-Roasted Spiced Okra Total Time: 15 Minutes 4 servings Okra is popular in Southern cooking; roast it with Indian spices like cumin. The crispy okra is delicious on its own or with yogurt and lentils. Tip: Skillet-roasting okra in hot oil makes it crispy, not slimy. INGREDIENTS 3/4 teaspoon hot paprika 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin 1/4 teaspoon ground coriander 1/4 teaspoon ground fennel seeds 1/8 teaspoon turmeric pinch of cinnamon 2 tablespoons vegetable oil 1 pound small okra, halved lengthwise Salt 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice DIRECTIONS 1. In a small bowl, blend the paprika with the cumin, coriander, fennel, turmeric, cinnamon and fenugreek. 2. In each of 2 large nonstick skillets, heat 1 tablespoon of the oil. Add the okra, cut side down, and cook over high heat for 2 minutes. Reduce the heat to moderate and cook until browned on the bottom, 4 minutes longer. Turn the okra and cook over low heat until tender, 2 minutes. Season with salt and sprinkle with the spice mixture. Cook, stirring, until fragrant, 30 seconds. Drizzle the lemon juice over the okra and serve. Enjoy!!!
