Barbecued Okra
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon sweet paprika
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon celery seed
- 1 pound fresh okra
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted, or olive oil
- Preheat the grill to high.
- Place the salt, paprika, sugar, coriander, black pepper, cayenne, and celery seed in a small bowl and stir to mix.
- Rinse the okra under cold running water and blot dry with paper towels.
- Trim the tips off the stem ends of the okra but do not cut into the pods.
- Place the okra in a large mixing bowl, add the butter and toss to coat.
- Add the rub mixture and toss to coat.
- When ready to cook, arrange the okra on the hot grate so that they are perpendicular to the bars or you may wish to skewer 4 or 5 pods side by side with bamboo skewers that have been soaked in water to keep any stray okra from falling through the grates and into the fire.
- Grill the okra until nicely browned, about 2 to 4 minutes per side, turning with tongs as needed.
- Transfer the grilled okra to a platter or plates and serve immediately.
