Ingredients

3 lb. okra, trimmed
4 large jalapeños, sliced crosswise 1/2 inch thick
2 Tbsp. canola oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Directions

1. Step 1Heat grill to medium-high.
2. Step 2Thread okra and jalapeño crosswise onto 10 sets of parallel 12 inch skewers (using two skewers prevents the okra from spinning when turned). Brush with oil. Season with salt and pepper.
