Roast Okra Delight!

This roasted frozen okra is a really easy recipe. Being a full-time employee and a mom of a toddler, I always look for easy and healthy recipes. This one uses spices like curry, ginger, and turmeric. It’s so easy to put together, and it turns out very well. When you roast the okra, you’ll notice the slime goes away — that’s what I like about this recipe. You don’t have to monitor it. Just put it in the oven, and it’s done.
