Categories     Leafy Green

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 3

12 small baby bok choy (similar sizes)
Good olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. 2. Remove any wilted leaves from the bok choy, then cut off the top half of the largest leaves and discard. Wash the bok choy and shake off any excess water. 3. Cut each head of bok choy in half through the core, leaving the cores intact. Place on two sheet pans, drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and toss. 4. Turn the bok choy cut sides down and roast for 20 minutes, until the small core is just tender. Sprinkle with salt and serve hot.

Tips:

  • Choose small, tender baby bok choy: Larger bok choy can be tough and bitter.
  • Trim the bok choy: Remove the tough outer leaves and the root end.
  • Cut the bok choy in half lengthwise: This will help it cook evenly.
  • Toss the bok choy with oil, salt, and pepper: This will help it roast evenly and develop a nice flavor.
  • Roast the bok choy at a high temperature: This will help it caramelize and develop a slightly charred flavor.
  • Roast the bok choy until it is tender: The bok choy should be tender when pierced with a fork.
  • Serve the bok choy immediately: Roasted bok choy is best served hot out of the oven.

Conclusion:

Roasted baby bok choy is a delicious and healthy side dish that can be enjoyed with a variety of meals. It is easy to make and can be roasted in just a few minutes. With its slightly charred flavor and tender texture, roasted bok choy is a surefire hit. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy side dish, give roasted baby bok choy a try.
