Getting Started
- Prep for Even Cooking: Halve or quarter larger bok choy heads lengthwise. Baby bok choy can be baked whole, simply trim the root end and separate leaves slightly. This ensures even cooking and tender results in 15-20 minutes at 200°C (400°F).
- Preventing Soggy Greens: Pat bok choy thoroughly dry after washing. Excess moisture steams instead of roasts, leading to a less desirable texture. A light coat of oil (olive, avocado, or sesame) promotes browning and flavor.
- Gluten-Free Flavor Boosts: When using Asian-inspired flavors, always opt for certified gluten-free tamari instead of regular soy sauce. For marinades, ensure all ingredients like miso paste or chili-garlic sauce are verified gluten-free.
- Temperature and Timing: For tender-crisp results, roast bok choy at 200-220°C (400-425°F) for 12-18 minutes, depending on size. The white stems should be tender, and the green leaves slightly wilted with minimal browning.
