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)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
Step 2
Rinse the baby bok choy thoroughly under cold water, making sure to remove any dirt from the base and between the leaves.
Step 3
Slice each head of baby bok choy in half lengthwise and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
Step 4
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, soy sauce, minced garlic, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using).
Step 5
Arrange the halved baby bok choy cut side up on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 6
Brush or drizzle the olive oil mixture evenly over the bok choy, ensuring the leaves and stems are well-coated.
Step 7
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.
Step 8
Remove from the oven and transfer to a serving plate. Garnish with sesame seeds, if desired, before serving.
