Serving Suggestions:

Tips for Perfect Roasted Bok Choy:

• Even Cooking: Make sure the bok choy is evenly coated with the marinade to ensure consistent flavor.
• Crispy Edges: For crispier edges, place the bok choy cut-side down on the baking sheet.
• Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or on the stovetop for best results.

Variations:

• Flavor Twist: Add a splash of lime juice and a handful of chopped cilantro for a fresh, zesty flavor.
• Nutty Addition: Sprinkle with chopped roasted peanuts or cashews for added crunch and richness.
