Crispy Grilled Okra

Simplest and tastiest recipe for okra ever. I didn't think I liked okra, but decided to give it another try when when I saw at my local farmers' market. I don't like slimy okra, and I like to keep things simple but tasty. This recipe is it! You can skewer them to make them a little easier to handle on the grill.
