Preparation Steps
1. Preheat your oven to 220°C and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
2. Trim the stem ends of the okra pods. If the pods are very large, slice them in half lengthwise; otherwise, leave them whole for a better crunch.
3. In a large mixing bowl, toss the okra with olive oil, minced garlic, sea salt, pepper, and smoked paprika until every pod is evenly coated.
4. Spread the okra in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Ensure they are not crowded, as space allows them to roast rather than steam.
5. Bake for 15 minutes, tossing the pods halfway through. You are looking for a golden-brown color and a slightly charred exterior.
6. Remove from the oven and immediately drizzle with fresh lemon juice while still hot to brighten the flavors.
