One of my famous "accidental vegan" recipes, Okra and Tomatoes is a classic soul food dish that I've remixed with a one pan, cast iron skillet healthy bake.
Servings 4
Equipment
1 cast iron skillet
Ingredients
1poundfresh okrastemmed and cut in half, lengthwise
12ouncescherry tomatoeson the vine

Instructions
Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees and place a cast iron skillet in the oven while it preheats.
Once the oven has pre-heated, remove the cast iron skillet from the oven and add the okra, cherry tomatoes on the vine, sliced onion, olive oil, salt, black pepper and cayenne pepper. Toss to evenly distribute the olive oil and seasonings.
Bake for 25 to 35 minutes or until the tomatoes just start to burst and the okra starts to brown on the ends.
Serve hot as a side dish or over a bed of rice as a meal.
