👨‍🍳 조리법

1
Preheat oven to 190°C (375°F).
💡 전문가 팁: Ensure the oven is at the correct temperature before placing the dish inside.
2
In a large bowl, combine the trimmed okra, chopped tomatoes, chopped onion, and minced garlic.
💡 전문가 팁: Ensure okra is dry after trimming to minimize sliminess.
3
Add olive oil, water or broth, salt, black pepper, and optional red pepper flakes to the bowl. Toss everything gently to coat the ingredients evenly.
💡 전문가 팁: Using broth instead of water will add an extra layer of flavor.
4
Transfer the mixture to a baking dish or casserole dish.
5
Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes.
6
Remove the foil and bake for another 15 minutes, or until the okra is tender and the sauce has slightly thickened.
💡 전문가 팁: Baking uncovered allows the vegetables to roast and the sauce to reduce.
7
Garnish with fresh chopped parsley before serving. Serve hot as a side dish or as a light main course with crusty bread.
💡 전문가 팁: Fresh parsley adds a burst of freshness that complements the baked vegetables.

💡 전문가 팁

✓To minimize sliminess, you can lightly sauté the okra for a few minutes before baking, or rinse the trimmed okra with cold water and dry it thoroughly.
✓If you don't have fresh tomatoes, canned diced tomatoes (drained) can be used as a substitute.
✓A pinch of sugar can be added to balance the acidity of the tomatoes if they are not very sweet.
