Getting Started
- Wash bok choy thoroughly, then pat completely dry. Moisture creates steam, hindering crispness. Halve or quarter larger heads lengthwise for even exposure to hot air.
- Air fry bok choy at 375°F (190°C) for 10-15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway. Smaller pieces cook faster; larger halves may take closer to 15-18 minutes.
- Toss bok choy with a minimal amount of high-smoke point oil like avocado oil or olive oil before air frying. This promotes browning and crisp edges without adding significant calories or carbs.
- Cook bok choy in a single layer, in batches if necessary. Overcrowding reduces air circulation, leading to steamed rather than crispy results.
