Lymphadenopathy is the term for swelling of the lymph nodes. These are the bean-shaped organs found in the underarm, groin, neck, chest, and abdomen.
Preheat an oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Arrange the okra slices in one layer on a foil lined cookie sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 15 minutes.
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.
