-------------------------------------- Similar trick works for string beans, especially late in the season when the beans start to get tough.

Keep the salt, add pepper flakes.

and try a little parmigiano-reggiano grated over the veggies. Scrape it and veggies off the baking sheet when melted and before it goes black.

I just had a weird idea--Okra fried rice. I'm out of okra at the moment--next time I go shopping I might get some and give that a try.

My wife likes it cooked on the grill. Brush on some mainade or olive oil, a little salt and pepper and she is in heaven. I don't like it any way it is cooked. I think the only reason they invented gumbo was to hide the taste of okra.

------------------------------- A great marinade for veggies on the grill is Wishbone Italian salad dressing.

Don't bother wasting time trying other brands, they just don't compete.

Have a S/S saute pan full of 1/2" dia holes that does a great job on the grill.

No veggies fall thru to the grate, available at one of those cooking speciality shops.
