Preheat your oven to 450 degrees. Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
Toss the okra with the olive oil and sea salt and spread them out on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Roast the okra for 25 minutes.
1 lb okra, 1 teaspoon olive oil, ½ teaspoon sea salt
While the okra is roasting, prepare the glaze. In a small frying pan over high heat, add the orange zest, orange juice, balsamic vinegar, honey, and garlic. Bring it to a boil and let it boil rapidly, whisking occasionally until it has reduced by half, about 5 minutes. If it reduces a little too much, just add another splash of orange juice or water.
Zest and juice from 1 orange, 1 ½ tablespoons balsamic vinegar, 1 tablespoon honey, 1 small garlic clove
Once the okra is nicely browned remove it from the oven and toss it with the orange glaze. Serve the okra with orange slices and a little fresh ground pepper.
