• Cut the ends off of each okra pod, and slice them in half.
• Place the sliced pods into a bowl and drizzle a small amount of olive oil over them.
• Toss to coat all of the okra in the oil.
• Add cumin, tumeric, corriander, and garlic powder into a small bow; mix to combine.
• Sprinkle the herb mixture of turmeric, cumin, coriander and garlic powder on the sliced okra and toss to mix well.
• Add 1 teaspoon of cornstarch to the okra, and mix with your hands to coat each piece evenly.
• Spread the spiced okra out on a baking sheet, sliced side up.
• Add salt and pepper to taste.
• Bake for 15 minutes in a preheated 425° oven until the okra is softened and slightly crispy. If your okra comes out stringy and too tough to eat, your pods were too mature. The resulting okra should be smooth and easy to eat with very little to no sliminess.
