Equipment
- air fryer
Ingredients
- 8 oz Baby bok choy can substitute any bok choy of choice
- 1 tsp olive oil can substitute avocado oil
- 1/8 tsp sea salt adjust to taste
- 1/8 tsp fresh ground pepper adjust to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your air fryer to 375ºF. If your air fryer doesn't have a preheat button, simply turn it on 5 minutes before using.
- Thoroughly wash you Bok Choy. And I mean THOROUGHLY. Bok Choy often has a lot of dirt hiding in it. So I like to wash mine both, before and after I cut it in half.
- Cut your baby bok choy in half. If using large bok choy, cut into quarters.
- Wash again to really make sure all of the dirt is out of the crevices.
- Dry your bok choy. I like to put my bok choy through a salad spinner AND pat it dry with a towel. The dryer your bok choy is, the better it will air fry.
- Brush 1 tsp of olive oil on the bok choy. Make sure you spread it out evenly so all of them are lightly coated in oil.
- Sprinkle with sea salt and fresh ground pepper to taste. I recommend about 1/8 tsp of each.
- Place on the air fryer tray. Do not overlap them! If you have a small air fryer you may need to cook in batches. Overlapping ingredients in the air fryer will prevent things from cooking evenly
- Air fry for 6 minutes, flipping at the half way point. Make sure you watch your bok choy! It will crisp up quickly and you want it to burn!
- Air fryer bok choy will be ready when it is tender and starting to crisp slightly. If you want your bok choy less crisp, check it at the 4 minute mark. If you want it more crisp, let it cook longer.
- Cut off the very bottom of the bok choy. Just enough to still keep then in tact.
- Serve and enjoy!
