  • Total Time: 15 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Vegetables

  • 1.5 lbs baby bok choy, halved or quartered

Sauce

  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tbsp low sodium soy sauce or coconut aminos
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 1/2 tbsp fresh ginger, minced or grated
  • 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes, more to taste

Toppings

  • 1 tbsp sesame seeds

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit to ensure it is hot enough to roast the bok choy quickly and evenly.
  2. Prepare Sauce: In a small bowl, combine the minced garlic, low sodium soy sauce, sesame oil, freshly minced or grated ginger, and red pepper flakes. Mix well to blend all the flavors together.
  3. Arrange Bok Choy: Place the halved or quartered baby bok choy on a baking sheet that has been lightly sprayed with cooking spray to prevent sticking. Distribute the bok choy evenly.
  4. Add Sauce: Pour the prepared sauce evenly over the bok choy, making sure each piece is coated well for maximum flavor.
  5. Roast: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the bok choy for 7 to 10 minutes. Roast until the stems are tender and the leaves have a slight caramelized edge, adjusting time depending on the size and thickness of the bok choy.
  6. Finish with Sesame Seeds: Remove the bok choy from the oven and immediately sprinkle with the sesame seeds for a crunchy, nutty finish. Serve warm as a side dish.

Notes

  • Adjust red pepper flakes according to your preferred spice level.
  • Using coconut aminos instead of soy sauce can make this recipe soy-free and slightly sweeter.
  • Make sure to cut bok choy evenly so it roasts uniformly.
  • Serve immediately to enjoy the best texture and flavor.
  • Can be paired well with grilled meats, rice dishes, or noodles for a complete meal.
