Getting Started

Prep for Crispness: Ensure bok choy is thoroughly dry after washing. Excess moisture will steam the greens instead of roasting them, preventing crispy edges. Pat dry with a kitchen towel before tossing with oil.
High Heat, Short Time: Roast bok choy at 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes. This high heat promotes caramelization and tender stalks while keeping the leaves from becoming soggy.
Single Layer is Key: Arrange bok choy in a single layer on a baking sheet. Overcrowding will trap moisture, leading to steaming. Use two sheets if necessary to ensure even cooking and browning.
Fat for Flavor and Texture: Use healthy fats like olive oil or avocado oil generously. This aids in browning, carries seasonings effectively, and provides a rich mouthfeel, crucial for low-carb satisfaction.
