Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 heads baby bok choy
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 2 cloves garlic
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons red pepper flakes (optional)
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
Rinse the baby bok choy thoroughly under cold water, making sure to remove any dirt from the base and between the leaves.
Slice each head of baby bok choy in half lengthwise and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, soy sauce, minced garlic, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using).
Arrange the halved baby bok choy cut side up on the prepared baking sheet.
Brush or drizzle the olive oil mixture evenly over the bok choy, ensuring the leaves and stems are well-coated.
Roast in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the leaves are slightly crisp and the stems are tender but still have a bit of crunch.
Remove from the oven and transfer to a serving plate. Garnish with sesame seeds, if desired, before serving.
