Start by making the creamy lemon dressing: in a bowl, combine 1/3 cup mayonnaise and 2 tablespoons lemon juice.

Add 1/2 teaspoon dijon mustard, 1 teaspoon sugar, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and black pepper to taste to the bowl.

Whisk the dressing together and set it aside.

Select okra that is bright green and not too big, ideally not larger than your finger.

To prepare the okra, split 1 pound of okra in half and place it in a zip top bag.

Add 3 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper to the bag.

Shake the bag to coat the okra evenly with the oil and seasonings.

Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil for easier cleanup.

Spread the coated okra on the lined baking sheet.

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit.

Roast the okra in the oven for 15 to 20 minutes, checking for a golden brown and crispy texture on the edges.
