To avoid slimy okra, follow these simple cooking techniques:

Cook okra at high heat.
Avoid crowding your pan or skillet, as this will reduce
the heat and cause sliminess.
Pickling okra may reduce the slime factor.
Cooking it in an acid-like tomato sauce reduces the
gumminess.
Simply slice and roast okra in your oven.
Grill it until it’s slightly charred.

Okra can become slimy when cooked. To prevent this, follow the
simple cooking methods above.
