1 Gather ingredients and preheat grill. Wash okra with a vegetable brush or clean washcloth to remove any dirt or fuzz.
2 Pat dry and place in a large ziplock bag. Toss with vinegar and let it soak for 30 minutes. I like to use a ziplock because I just shake the bag whenever I walk past it in the kitchen to make sure every inch of okra sits in the vinegar for a bit. You could also put it in a mixing bowl and stir.
3 After 30 minutes, drain and rinse the okra and pat dry.
4 In a mixing bowl, toss okra with oil and spices.
5 Grill 5-6 minutes per side until you see some charring and okra has softened.
6 Flip and grill for an additional 5-6 minutes.
7 Serve with grilled lemons, aioli, or eat as-is!
