How to Cook Okra
Okra will only become very slimy if it is cut, and then cooked in water. If you trim it without piercing the pods and fry it, or roast it whole then it will crisp up on the outside while becoming tender inside.
You can slice and fry okra, but please, handle it as little as possible. Some okra recipes call for it to be fried before being added to a liquid which helps keep the sliminess down. If you only cook okra for a short amount of time, it will develop a crisp texture similar to a green bean.
The more okra is cooked, the more tender it becomes.
