- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp soy sauce (or Tamari/Coconut Aminos)
- 1 tsp toasted sesame oil
- 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
- 1. Prep the Bok Choy: Wash bok choy thoroughly. For baby bok choy, halve lengthwise. For mature bok choy, chop stems into 1-inch pieces and leaves into 2-inch pieces. Pat dry.
- 2. Make the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, minced garlic, soy sauce, and red pepper flakes (if using).
- 3. Toss and Arrange: Place bok choy in a large bowl, pour sauce over, and toss to coat evenly. Spread in a single layer on a baking sheet, ensuring not to overcrowd.
- 4. Bake to Perfection: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until tender-crisp and edges are slightly charred. Toss halfway through.
