Allow okra to brown on one side, about 3 minutes, before gently stirring. Once both sides of okra have browned, about 3 more minutes, place into preheated oven. Cook until fork tender, about 10 minutes.

Cook the okra for 1 or 2 minutes before adding chopped, tender vegetables such as tomatoes and a small amount of water — approximately 1/2 cup for each pound of okra. Continue cooking the mixture for another 5 minutes, until the okra is tender. To steam okra, you need a pot, small amount of water and a steamer basket. Bring the water to a boil, place cleaned and trimmed okra in the steamer basket and cover the pot. Let the okra steam for approximately 5 to 6 minutes. To boil okra, fill a large pot with water and add 1 teaspoon of fresh citrus juice to the water to help minimize sliminess. Bring the water to a boil, add the okra and boil it for 5 minutes until the pods are tender.

Quick Boil. The secret to tender boiled okra with a little snap still in the fibers is to drop the pods into a pot of boiling water and cook on a vigorous heat for a limited period. For the shorter, younger pods, 3 to 4 minutes, covered, at a rolling boil will be sufficient, whereas for longer, more mature pods, up to 8 minutes might be required. The okra are done when the tines of a fork will easily penetrate the flesh just below the stalk. Any longer and overcooking could turn the okra slimy.
