Preheat the oven to 425°F. Wash and dry the okra. Slice off the tops and cut the okra lengthwise.
Place the cut okra onto a baking sheet, leaving plenty of space between each piece. Drizzle with sesame oil. Sprinkle with the red pepper flakes and salt to taste.
Roast the okra for 10-12 minutes, turning once. Remove from the oven and enjoy as a warm snack or side dish.
