GRILLED OKRA

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Prepare a gas or charcoal grill for high heat; You should be able to hold your hand about an inch above the cooking grate for just 1 to 2 seconds before pulling it away from the intensity of the heat.
• While the grill heats, trim off and discard the stems from the okra pods .
• Put the okra in a large bowl or on a rimmed baking sheet or roasting pan. Drizzle it with the oil and toss to thoroughly coat the okra with the oil.
• Place the okra on the grill (being careful that smaller pods are placed so they run perpendicular to the cooking grate so they don't fall through). Close the grill cover and cook until the okra's green color heightens and grill marks or charred edges appear about 4 to 5 minutes. If you are using purple okra, cook until the purple color deepens.
• Use tongs to turn the okra pods over, cover, and cook until they're charred or browned on the other side and tender to the bite, about 5 more minutes.
• Remove the okra from the grill. Sprinkle it with salt and spritz it with lemon juice , if you like. Serve grilled okra hot or at room temperature and enjoy!
