BAKED OKRA

Welcome to Rice House cooking with a little southern flair! You will feel like you've just crossed the Mason-Dixon Line with one bite of this delicious dish. Grits and okra without the "southern" calories, saturated fat, and sodium! When I eat this with some Pinto Beans, I've "gone to Carolina in my mind"!
Yield: 4 servings
 

Ingredients
• 3/4 cup grits
• 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 2 tablespoons hot water
• 1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
• 24 ounces cut, frozen okra, salt free
 

Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Mix all the dry ingredients in a large bowl. Then mix the liquid ingredients and okra together in a separate bowl. When mixed well, add to the dry ingredients and stir to coat the okra thoroughly. Lay the okra evenly across a nonstick baking sheet, and bake for about 1 hour.
