Ingredients

  • 1 bok choy
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 2 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • 2 teaspoon sesame seeds
  • ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes

Instructions

  • 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.

Equipment

  • Baking sheet

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.
