Getting Started
- Preheat your oven and baking sheet to 400°F (200°C) before adding bok choy. This ensures a quick sear on contact, promoting crispiness and preventing sogginess.
- Avoid overcrowding the baking sheet. Give bok choy pieces space to breathe, allowing moisture to evaporate for better caramelization. Use two sheets if necessary.
- For optimal texture, cut larger bok choy into quarters lengthwise and baby bok choy in half. This exposes more surface area for even cooking and browning.
- Enhance vegan flavor with umami-rich ingredients like nutritional yeast, tamari, or white miso paste. These add depth without relying on animal products.
