Getting Started
- Ensure bok choy is dry before baking; excess moisture will steam rather than caramelize. Pat thoroughly with a clean towel after washing.
- Bake at a high temperature, typically 400°F (200°C), for 15-20 minutes. This achieves tender stems and slightly crisped edges without overcooking.
- Do not overcrowd the baking sheet. Give each piece space for air circulation; this promotes even cooking and browning.
- Utilize healthy fats like olive oil, avocado oil, or butter generously. These fats carry flavor, aid in browning, and contribute to keto macros.
