Pour enough avocado oil into whatever large skillet that you’re using ( I prefer an iron skillet) to cover the bottom and turn on medium high. (You want the oil hot before putting the okra in the skillet.)

Add the okra and some salt and allow to cook for 10 minutes or so before turning the first time.

You will toss/turn occasionally in order for there to get a good browning on all of the pieces. This takes time, but your patience will pay off, I promise!

You will notice that there is a reduction in the size of the okra and the amount will look like quite a bit less than what you put in the skillet. This is normal.

Cook all until it is no longer slimy and is browned to your liking. Yes, this sounds gross, but if you’ve cooked okra before, you know what I’m talking about.

About 5-10 minutes prior to finish, add minced onion (optional and amount to your liking) and toss. Serve hot!
