Ingredients

  • 1 lb bok choy about 2 medium, 8 to 9 inches in length
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • ¼ tsp coarse salt
  • ½ tsp garlic powder

Garnish:

  • Drizzle Toasted sesame oill optional
  • Sprinkle Toasted black and white sesame seeds

Instructions

  • For medium-sized bok choy that's about 8-9 inch in height, quarter the bok choy and rinse them under tap water to remove dirt. You can also plunge them a few times in a big bowl of water until they are rinsed clean.
  • Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
  • To season, place the bok choy cut side up on a large sheet pan or plate. Drizzle them with oil and sprinkle in salt and garlic powder. Use your hands to toss and coat them well on all sides.
  • Preheat the air fryer to 320°F (160°C). Place the bok choy in a single layer in the basket. A slight overlap is okay. Air fryer for 5-6 minutes. Check after 5 minutes You might need to do this in two batches, depending on the size of your basket.
  • Transfer them out to a serving plate. The bok choy stems should be tender, the leaves should be a little crisp but not burnt.
  • Garnish with sesame seeds and drizzle with sesame oil, if using. Serve right away or at room temperature.

Notes

  • Baby bok choy (4 to 5 inches in length) - Slice it in half then rinse and pat dry before seasoning.
  • Regular-sized (medium) bok choy (8 to 9 inches in length) - Quarter the bok choy then rinse and pat dry.
  • Large-sized bok choy (10 to 11 inches in length) - separate the bok choy into leaves and stems. Cut in half and then crosswise to make small pieces.
