Roasted Okra Fries

INGREDIENTS

• 1 pound fresh okra
• avocado oil
• sea salt (or try smoked salt!)

INSTRUCTIONS

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. If you have a convection setting, use it. 
• Slice off the woody stem ends of the okra, then slice them lengthwise.
• Place on a baking sheet and drizzle with oil. Toss them with your hands and spread them out so there is just a single layer on the pan. If you have too many, use two pans.
• Sprinkle on the salt. It should take about a teaspoon. 
• Bake for 30-45 minutes, or until edges are crispy. Check on them halfway and move them around if you notice uneven browning. They should brown lightly, avoid burning. 
• Enjoy as a snack or a side dish.
