Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Wash the okra thoroughly and pat it dry with a clean kitchen towel. Trim the stems off the okra but do not slice through the pods.
Rinse the cherry tomatoes under cold water and pat them dry. Keep them whole.
Peel the garlic cloves and leave them whole, or slice them in half if they are very large.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the okra, cherry tomatoes, and garlic cloves. Drizzle with olive oil.
Sprinkle the mixture with dried oregano, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Toss everything together until the vegetables are evenly coated in the seasoning and oil.
Spread the vegetable mixture out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Roast the vegetables in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the okra is tender and slightly caramelized, the tomatoes are blistered, and the garlic is soft.
Remove from the oven and transfer the roasted vegetables to a serving platter. Optionally, garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or basil.
Serve warm as a flavorful side dish to your favorite main course.
