Crisp Blistered Okra Recipe is a simple and fast okra dish that is crunchy, flavorful, and not at all slimy. Some like it better than fried.

Blistered Okra Skillet

There is nothing like fresh okra in the summertime. I love okra any way you can cook it, but blistered okra could become my favorite way to eat it.

This okra is super easy to make and requires very little prep. What keeps the okra crisp and does not release its juices, which can be gummy, is not adding any water (liquid) when cooking the okra.

Another tip is to heat the avocado oil over medium-high heat, but not to the point of burning, then add the okra. This renders the okra crisp on the outside and tender on the inside. This is also how I cook mushrooms, which makes a great compliment to the okra.

Once the okra is cooked, stop stirring it. Continuing to stir the okra will change its texture, so it is best to cook it just before serving.

The seasoning is straightforward, salt and pepper with a pinch of red pepper flakes. Montreal steak seasoning is also a great way to bump up the flavor.

WHAT YOU NEED TO MAKE CRISP BLISTERED OKRA RECIPE

Sharp paring knife
Large heavy-bottomed skillet
Avocado oil
Butter
Red pepper flakes
Mushrooms (optional)
Salt and pepper
Montreal Steak Seasoning

HOW TO MAKE CRISP BLISTERED OKRA RECIPE

Heat a large, heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat and add the avocado oil.

Add the okra and mushrooms when the oil is very hot but not burning. Stir in the butter just before adding the vegetables.

Stir the vegetables once to distribute them in the oil, being careful not to break up the okra too much. Turn the heat down if necessary, so the vegetables do not burn.

Sprinkle with red pepper flakes. Wait until the okra is cooked before adding the rest of the seasonings.

Turn the okra and mushrooms over occasionally, cooking for approximately 10 minutes until blistered and tender.

Season liberally with salt and pepper or Montreal Steak Seasoning.

Serve as soon as the okra is done.
