Ingredients
- 1 tsp cooking oil any vegetable oil or butter
- 1 lb okra
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp pepper
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
Instructions
- Wash and dry okra. Cut off the stems and slice okra into pieces.
- Pour oil into skillet and heat to high. In about 2 minutes, the oil will start to sizzle. This is your cue to add the okra.
- Once okra is in the pan, mix it up with a spatula. Turn the heat down to medium high.

- Once the okra is nice and tender, sprinkle in salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Toss the okra to coat in seasonings.
- Turn off the heat and move the okra from the pan to a serving plate.
