Instructions

Pre-soak wooden skewers for at about 30 minutes to prevent burning on the grill. Preheat the BBQ grill.
In a sealable baggie, mix together okra, olive oil, garlic, salt and pepper, chili powder or chili peppers (optional) and mix well.
Place the okra on the wooden skewer. I used two skewers side by side and threaded each okra on in two spots to give it more stability when turning on the grill.
Grill okra for about 2-3 minutes on each side or just until some grill marks are showing on the okra. Remove from Grill. Squeeze fresh lime juice on top of the grilled okra.
Enjoy!

Notes

Do not overcook your okra. The goal is just until you can pierce your knife into the edge of it. It is nice when they are slightly crisp but have taken on the smokey flavor of the grill.

We usually use garlic powder and chili powder, instead of the fresh as it makes it easy for prep and cleaning.

If you have a vegetable grilling grate, then there is no need for the skewers, you can grill your okra directly in the grill in the vegetable grilling grate.
