The very best okra is small and tender, straight off the plant into the mouth in the garden. Also can work in salads.
Saute lightly in butter with desired seasonsings
Roasted or grilled as noted above
Stir fry with bacon, corn, onions, fresh tomatoes, peppers, whatever rings your bell. Crisp tender, do not over cook.
Slimey happens when overcooked.
