Ingredients
- 6 heads baby bok choy
- 0.25 cup coconut aminos (paleo soy sauce alternative)
- 3 garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons avocado oil
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 lime wedges
Directions
Step 1
Start by preparing the garlic soy glaze. Mince the garlic cloves and fresh ginger.
Step 2
In a small mixing bowl, combine the coconut aminos, minced garlic, ginger, honey, avocado oil, sesame oil, and black pepper. Whisk together until well combined. Set aside.
Step 3
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Step 4
Rinse the baby bok choy under cold water to remove any dirt, ensuring the leaves remain intact. Cut each bok choy in half lengthwise.
Step 5
Brush each half with avocado oil to prevent sticking to the grill grates.
Step 6
Once the grill is ready, place the bok choy halves cut side down on the grill. Grill for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until you get nice grill marks and the bok choy is slightly tender.
Step 7
During the last couple of minutes of grilling, use a basting brush to apply the garlic soy glaze generously over the bok choy.
Step 8
Remove the bok choy from the grill and place on a serving platter.
Step 9
Sprinkle the grilled bok choy with sesame seeds for added texture and a nutty flavor.
Step 10
Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the top before eating.
