Preheat oven to 450°. Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper.
Trim the bottom of the bok choy and clean thoroughly. Dry the bok choy and cut into quarters.
Next, make the sauce by mixing the sesame oil, soy sauce, maple syrup, sesame seeds and red pepper flakes.
Place the bok choy in a single layer on the sheet pan. Pour the sauce on top and turn the bok choy a few times to distribute. Loosely cover the pan with aluminum foil to prevent the leaves from burning.
Bake in preheated oven for 20 minutes, turning and flipping them halfway through.
Remove from the oven and plate. Pour the leftover sauce form the pan on top of the bok choy and serve.
Store any leftover bok choy in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. For best results, reheat in the microwave.

Notes
Make sure the cleaned bok choy is relatively dry before putting it on the baking sheet. If it's too wet then it can get soggy.
You can customize the taste by making it sweeter or spicy. Simply increase either the amount maple syrup or the red pepper flakes.
Instead of reheating the leftover bok choy, you can keep it cold and have it as a sandwich topper. You may want to cut any really large pieces.
