Okra

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Wash your tender okra pods in cool water and drain in a colander. Once relatively dry, move them to a cutting board, and decide how you’d like to cut them.

Cut okra and place on rimmed baking sheet. I like to cut mine into 1/4 to 1/2 inch pieces for easy use.

Place baking sheet in preheated oven for 3-4 minutes. You just want the okra pieces warmed through, not cooked.

Remove the pan from the oven and allow to cool for a few minutes. The moisture that was on the okra has dried a bit after the short time in the oven, and once cool, they are ready for the freezer.

Place cooled okra in labeled freezer bags, and use throughout the fall and winter as needed!
Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
If you prefer fried okra (or “oven fried”) then you can go ahead and coat your cooled okra in cornmeal before putting it in the freezer bags.

For freezing okra whole, cut off the tops and warm the pods in the oven. Then freeze as usual.
