Tips and Tricks

• Cut the Okra: Chopped okra significantly reduces any slimy texture. Cut them into discs or lengthwise for the best texture.
• Premix the Dry Ingredients: Combine your spices—paprika, garlic powder, and salt—before adding them to the okra. This ensures even flavor distribution across all the pieces.
• Don’t Skip the Butter: Using plant-based butter not only adds flavor but also helps the okra brown in the oven and remain moist, preventing it from drying out while baking.
