Baked Okra

As a child, I never liked okra. One day, my late father prepared okra in the oven and that was the day I started eating okra... Now my children love the baked okra.I f your children or your spouse doesn't like okra, try this version. Also, my daughter specifically asked me to tell you that she prepared this okra.

Okra is a very healthy vegetable that helps the digestive system. I's a vegetable high in fiber, and a powerful diuretic.
