Delighted to hear that you enjoy okra and taijin too. Okra with Taijin complement each other so well. With the little tang of lime and a kick of heat, it takes these crispy grilled okra to the next level.

Hi there Jeff. We know what you mean about okra. However, grilling okra keeps them crisp but tender without any of the sludge that happens when you cook it slow in a gumbo. Try it and let us know if you change your mind about okra. Take Care

Thanks so much Heidi! Grilled okra is one of our favorite veggies to have on the BBQ in the summer. We think you are going to love that pop of flavor.

Happy 4th to you! About 15 years ago, I wanted to grill a vegetable along with our yakitori whilst living in Japan. Asparagus was over $2 USD just for 4 little stalks. Therefore, I reached for a small container of okra for half the price - thew them on the grill and they were magical. We have been making them ever since and swapped out the Shichimi Togarashi (spicy peppers) for Tajin.

Thank you Karen! Okra prepared on the grill stays extra crispy. I hope you try it soon as the hint of spice and lime are a zesty addition.
