Getting Started

  • Always wash bok choy thoroughly and dry it completely before air frying. Excess moisture prevents crisping and can lead to steaming.
  • For even cooking, cut baby bok choy in half lengthwise or quarter larger heads. Toss with 1 tablespoon of oil per head, ensuring all surfaces are lightly coated.
  • Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Cook bok choy for 8-12 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through. Cooking time varies by air fryer model and bok choy size.
  • To enhance dairy-free flavor, consider a finishing sprinkle of nutritional yeast for umami, or a dash of black vinegar for acidity after cooking. Avoid overcrowding the basket to ensure proper air circulation and crisp results.
