Grilled Okra with Smoked Paprika Dip
Ingredients
- 1 lb small okra pods
- 1 Tbsp oil
- Salt and pepper
Dip
- ¼ cup GF mayonnaise
- 1 Tbsp lemon juice
- 1 Tbsp fresh cilantro finely chopped
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- ¼ tsp crushed red pepper flakes
Instructions
- Partially split each washed/dried okra pod, keeping the top ½ inch of the stem uncut. Toss pods with oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Place on a hot grill, flipping once lightly charred, and pods start to split open (about 5 minutes in total).
- For dip, combine all ingredients and mix well. Serve with hot okra pods right off the grill.
Notes
When buying okra, look for unblemished brightly colored pods, that are 2-4” long and tender (but not soft). They only have a few days of shelf life in the fridge, so best to buy them on the day you plan on cooking them.
