4 servings
- 1 lb fresh okra, stems trimmed, pods halved lengthwise
- 2 tbsp garlic-infused oil
- 1 ½ tsp smoked paprika
- ½ tsp ground cumin
- ¼ tsp cayenne pepper (optional)
- ½ tsp kosher salt, plus more to taste
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 3 scallions, green tops only, thinly sliced
Instructions
- 1
Pat the halved okra dry with paper towels — any surface moisture will cause steaming instead of searing. In a small bowl, stir together the smoked paprika, cumin, cayenne (if using), salt, and black pepper.

Heat a 12-inch cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat for 2 minutes, until the surface is very hot and a drop of water evaporates on contact. Add the garlic-infused oil and swirl to coat.
