    Hi everyone. I pop them in the airfryer for a few minutes, after soaking, wiping and cutting them. That helps with the slime. 😊

    Soaking in a little cold salt water, drain then dry, will help or if you must lemon juice of vinegar. Honestly the fresher they are the less issues you will have. For sure the smooth, greener ones are best, with the snap. It can only go wrong is you mess around, just cut and cook without over working them. If you are adding liquid like tomato, make sure it is cooked dry before adding you can cook these separately. This will avoid the stewed effect. Form my understanding Louisiana style "gumbo" they embrace the slime and and make it work, they even substitute with other slime producing veg.

    In the Caribbean we cook it with rice and a lot of seasoning. It is so good.

    Looks delicioso! I've got most of the ingredients and I love okra! I had a volunteer sumac pop up in my yard. Next year I will have to net the heads while the berries are still green, because there are creatures...birds? that eat the berries before they become ripe!
