Notes

  • These pods cook up really fast and cool just as quickly, so you’ll want to serve them right away for the best flavor.
  • Keep the okra as dry as possible since excess water will contribute to any sliminess.
  • You can substitute the plain yogurt with plain Greek yogurt or dip the okra in ranch dressing.
