For a smokier flavor, consider using wood chips like hickory or mesquite in your grill. If you don't have an outdoor grill, you can achieve a similar effect using a grill pan on your stovetop. Adjust the amount of Cajun seasoning to your liking. For a milder flavor, use less seasoning or a milder blend. Make sure the okra is dry before grilling to help it char properly. Serve grilled okra with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice for a bright, tangy finish.

Oct 27, 2024The key is to not overcrowd the grill, otherwise the okra steams instead of chars. Great recipe!
