Welcome!

Welcome to Romeo's Food Lady! This blog contains recipes for delicious vegetarian food. Most of these are not recipes authored by me. Rather, this is just a compilation of great veggie food I've found from all over the place, usually tweaked just a little. It's intended to be a reference FOR ME so I don't lose great food I've found nor the changes I've made to suit my tastes, but I'm happy for you to use it, too. After more than 25 years of being a vegetarian, I know what tastes good.
Romeo's Food Lady is named after my friend and cat, Romeo. Romeo is not a vegetarian, but his Food Lady is!

Roasted Okra

Here's another okra recipe to help use this summer's bumper crop, and happily it's something a little different.  This recipe comes from www.allrecipes.com, and I made a couple of small adjustments.
 
 
Ingredients:
about 18 - 25 tender okra pods, 2-3 inches long, capped (larger okra can be used but should be cut into 1/3-inch lengths)
1 T. olive oil
1/2 t. salt
1/2 t. freshly ground black pepper
 
Method:
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.  Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil.
 
Add the okra, olive oil, salt, and pepper to the baking sheet, and toss to coat.  Arrange the okra on a single layer, and roast in the preheated oven 10 - 15 minutes or until desired texture.  Serve warm.
 
Serves 2 - 3 as a side dish.
