Getting Started
- Prep for Crispness: Ensure bok choy is thoroughly dry after washing to prevent steaming in the air fryer. Pat leaves and stems dry with a clean towel before tossing with oil and seasonings.
- Optimal Temperature & Time: For tender-crisp results, air fry bok choy halves or quarters at 375°F (190°C) for 8-12 minutes, shaking the basket halfway. Smaller pieces may cook faster.
- Even Coating: Toss bok choy with a minimal amount of high-smoke point oil (like avocado or grapeseed oil) and seasonings before air frying. This ensures even cooking and prevents burning.
- Don't Overcrowd: Air fry bok choy in a single layer, in batches if necessary. Overcrowding reduces air circulation, leading to steamed rather than crispy vegetables.
