Oven-Roasted, Lemon-Parmesan Okra image

Modified from the dallasnews.com -- Recipe by Tina Danze, published August 10, 2011. NOTE: Recently, I saw on America's Test Kitchen (or Cook's Country), to use frozen okra thawed and blotted dry in recipes, rather than trying to find decent fresh okra in grocery stores!
