Notes

You want to use a thick baking dish for baking the okra so that the okra and onion don't burn quickly, as we are baking it at 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
You also want a baking dish that's large enough where the okra and onion are not piled more than about 1 1/2 layers. If they are like 2-3 layer deep, then the okra will get soggy and slimy and also take much longer to bake.  they will reduce once baked to about a single layer.
