Ingredients

  • Bok choy, halved lengthwise
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil

Instructions

INGREDIENTS

• Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

• Rinse the bok choy thoroughly, especially between the leaves where dirt can hide. Pat them dry with a paper towel.

• In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, minced garlic, soy sauce, sesame oil, and lemon juice or rice vinegar.

• Place the bok choy on a baking sheet cut-side up. Brush each half with the mixture, ensuring some of it gets between the leaves. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and optional red pepper flakes.

• Roast in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the leaves wilt and the edges begin to crisp up slightly.

• Once done, remove from the oven. If desired, you can sprinkle roasted bok choy with sesame seeds for extra flavor and texture.

• Serve immediately as a side dish to your favorite main course.
