how to make roasted bok choy
Time needed: 25 minutes
For the world’s best Roasted Bok Choy, simply:
- Preheat the oven.
Turn that oven to 400°.
- Prep the bok choy.
Cut the bok choy into halves or quarters. Be mindful to keep the core intact. Bok Choy can have a lot of soil in the base due to how it grows. Carefully wash in between the leaves to ensure its nice and clean.
- Make the sauce.
Whisk all of the sauce together in a mixing bowl.
- Drizzle and roast.
Arrange the bok choy cut side up onto a sheet pan. Drizzle the sauce over the bok choy and into all the nooks and crannies. Roast for approximately 12-15 minutes.
- The finale.
Remove the bok choy from the oven. Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds and green onions for garnish. Enjoy!
recipe frequently asked questions
Bok choy can be a bit tricky to clean because the soil can get in between the leaves at the base. I suggest cutting them in half, taking care to leave the core intact, and carefully rinsing in between the leaves. If the bok choy is super dirty, cut them in half and let them soak in a large bowl of cold water.
Bok Choy is one of my all time favorite greens, especially when roasted. To me, its like a mild cabbage, but crispier at the base. Some of the larger bok choys can be slightly bitter, but in the way that we love bitter. You must try it!
You can serve it raw in salads if you want it super crispy. I love, love, love it in my Asian-inspired soup recipes. Roasted Bok Choy is just mind-blowing good. I could plow through this entire recipe by myself. I love it leftover, cold straight from the fridge. It’s also really good folded into my morning eggs with a good squeeze of sriracha!
This recipe is both gluten and dairy-free!
Let me count the ways you could serve this recipe. It would be wonderful with grilled steaks or your weeknight roast chicken. Other ideas include:
