4 small bok choy, halved lengthwise

2 tbsp toasted sesame oil

1 tbsp soy sauce or tamari (for gluten-free)

1 tsp fresh grated ginger

How to Make It:

Prep the Bok Choy:

Preheat your oven to 425°F. Slice bok choy in half and place on a baking sheet. This step sets up a quick veggie fix and easy side dish win.

Whisk the Sauce:

In a bowl, mix sesame oil, soy sauce, rice vinegar, maple syrup, garlic, and ginger. This sauce brings huge flavor punch and that Asian-inspired magic.

Roast to Perfection:

Brush the sauce over bok choy, then roast for 12–15 minutes until edges are crispy and caramelized — crispy roasted goodness meets low-calorie flavor bomb.

Top It Off:

Sprinkle with chili flakes, sesame seeds, green onions, and cilantro. Adds a flavor explosion and a gourmet veggie moment you’ll crave.

Serve & Enjoy:

Serve warm as a side or over rice/noodles for a plant-based dinner upgrade or healthy flavor-packed bite.
