Oh, the wonderful tastes of summer! What better way than grilling on the BBQ. One of my favorite veggies to grill is Okra. If you haven’t tried grilled okra, then you are in for a treat! I was a little leary at first because I was afraid of it being slimy.
Well, guess what? It’s not! It is so tasty & oh so healthy.
Okra has so many health benefits from controlling blood sugar, reducing cholesterol, preventing constipation, preventing & controlling asthma, reducing sore throats to boosting the immune system & many more. It is packed full of Vitamin A & carotenes that help with vision, Vitamin C, and minerals such as magnesium, calcium manganese & iron. Read more about Magnesium deficiency here.

- Whole pods of Organic Okra (as many as you want to grill. I try to do at least 5-6 pods per person.
- Organic Olive Oil or Avocado Oil
- Salt to taste (my favorite)
- Grill (if you don’t have an outdoor grill you can use a Black Iron Skillet or an Indoor Grill)
