Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons salt-free Cajun seasoning (such as Tony Chachere's)
• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon olive oil, divided
• 1/2 pound fresh okra, halved lengthwise

Instructions

1. Stir together Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high. Add okra, bell pepper, and onion. Sprinkle with 2 teaspoons of the seasoning mixture, and cook, stirring often, until okra is lightly charred and pepper and onion slices are starting to get tender, 4 to 6 minutes. Transfer mixture from skillet to a bowl.
