Ingredients

  • 1 pound fresh okra, rinsed and trimmed
  • 1 pint grape tomatoes
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
  • Lemon wedges (for serving)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, around 375-400°F (190-200°C).
  2. Prepare the Okra: In a large bowl, toss the okra with one tablespoon of olive oil until evenly coated. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  3. Skewer the Okra: Thread the okra onto skewers, leaving a little space between each piece to ensure even cooking.
  4. Grill the Okra: Place the okra skewers on the preheated grill and cook for 5-7 minutes per side, or until tender and slightly charred. Rotate the skewers occasionally for even cooking.
  5. Prepare the Tomatoes: While the okra is grilling, toss the grape tomatoes with the remaining olive oil, minced garlic, smoked paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper in a separate bowl until well combined.
  6. Grill the Tomatoes: Place the seasoned grape tomatoes in a grill basket or on a sheet of aluminum foil and grill for 5-7 minutes, or until slightly softened and blistered, stirring occasionally.
  7. Combine and Serve: Once the okra and tomatoes are grilled to perfection, remove them from the grill. Carefully slide the okra off the skewers and transfer them to a serving platter. Top the grilled okra with the blistered grape tomatoes, garnish with chopped fresh parsley, and serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing.
