  • Total Time: 16 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients

Bok Choy

  • 5 heads regular-sized bok choy (quartered, about 8-9” in height per bundle, approximately 26.5 oz total)

Seasoning & Sauce

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 0.5 tsp coarse sea salt
  • 0.5 tsp garlic powder
  • 2 tsp garlic chili sauce
  • 2 tsp coconut aminos
  • 0.2 oz fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 tsp toasted sesame oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (204°C) to ensure it reaches the perfect temperature for roasting the bok choy.
  2. Prepare the Bok Choy: Trim off the bottom tip ends of each bok choy head and cut them into quarters to allow even cooking.
  3. Clean the Bok Choy: Rinse the bok choy thoroughly under running water or submerge them in a large bowl of water several times to remove dirt. Drain well and pat dry with a clean kitchen towel to prevent sogginess during roasting.
  4. Season the Bok Choy: Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the bok choy quarters on the sheet, then drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle coarse sea salt, and garlic powder evenly. Use your hands to toss and coat all pieces thoroughly.
  5. Roast the Bok Choy: Loosely cover the baking sheet with aluminum foil. Roast in the preheated oven for 7-8 minutes. Covering helps keep the leaves from burning while ensuring the stem sections become tender.
  6. Make the Sauce: While the bok choy roasts, combine the garlic chili sauce, coconut aminos, grated ginger, and toasted sesame oil in a small bowl, mixing well to create a flavorful drizzle.
  7. Serve: Once the bok choy is tender and roasted, transfer it to a large serving plate and drizzle the prepared sauce evenly over the top. Serve warm to enjoy its full flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Ensure bok choy is dried thoroughly after washing to avoid steaming instead of roasting.
  • Adjust garlic chili sauce quantity to control the spice level to your taste.
  • Covering with foil during roasting preserves delicate leaves and helps cook stems evenly.
  • Coconut aminos provide a soy-free umami flavor; soy sauce can be substituted if preferred.
