Getting Started
- Ensure bok choy is thoroughly dry after washing. Excess moisture will steam rather than crisp. Cut larger bok choy heads in half or quarters lengthwise; baby bok choy can be air fried whole or halved.
- Cook bok choy in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Overcrowding traps moisture and leads to steaming, not crisping. Cook in batches if necessary, maintaining a temperature of 375°F (190°C) for 8-12 minutes, shaking the basket halfway.
- A light coating of a high-smoke-point oil like avocado oil, or a keto-friendly fat like melted butter or bacon grease, helps achieve a golden-brown exterior and carries flavors. Toss well before air frying.
- For maximum flavor impact, especially with delicate herbs or spices that can burn, consider adding a final sprinkle of salt, pepper, fresh herbs, or a squeeze of lemon/lime juice immediately after removing from the air fryer.
