Recipe notes

  • Do not overcrowd the baking sheet - arrange okra in a single layer for best crisping.
  • Select smaller, tender okra pods (2-4 inches) for optimal texture and less slime.

Storage notes

  • Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat in a 400°F oven or air fryer for 3-5 minutes to restore crispiness.
