Print Recipe

A quick and easy side dish featuring baby bok choy roasted to crispy perfection with garlic and soy sauce, delivering bold, savory, and slightly smoky flavors.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound baby bok choy (about 450g), halved or quartered lengthwise
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce (low sodium recommended)
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil (or neutral oil like canola)
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Pinch of red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Rinse the bok choy thoroughly and pat dry with paper towels or a clean kitchen towel. Slice each head in half lengthwise, or quarters if larger (about 1-inch thick).
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine minced garlic, soy sauce, sesame oil, vegetable oil, and honey or maple syrup if using. Stir until well mixed.
  4. Add the bok choy to the bowl and gently toss until all pieces are evenly coated, being careful not to tear the leaves.
  5. Place the bok choy cut side down in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet.
  6. Roast in the oven for 12-15 minutes. At around 7 minutes, carefully flip the bok choy using tongs or a spatula to ensure even roasting.
  7. Once roasted, sprinkle with black pepper and red pepper flakes if desired. Serve immediately for best texture.

Notes

Pat bok choy dry thoroughly to ensure crispiness. Flip halfway through roasting for even browning. Watch garlic closely to prevent burning; add garlic halfway through roasting for milder flavor. Use tamari or coconut aminos for gluten-free version. Reheat leftovers in a skillet or broiler to regain crispness; avoid microwaving.
