Roasted Bok Choy with Garlic Tahini and Sriracha

Bok choy, a Chinese leafy green, is a low carbohydrate food loaded with vitamins A, C, and K as well as minerals such as calcium, iron, and magnesium. It can be served raw in salads, stir fried as seen in many Asian dishes, or sautéed and eaten alongside your favorite protein for a well-balanced meal. When eaten raw, bok choy can have a slightly bitter taste, similar to cabbage or collard greens. The flavor intensifies when a heat element is added and is wonderful when combined with the right spices!

The recipe below is a modified recipe inspired by OurFourForks.com. It is gluten-free and vegan to make this a delicious accompaniment for any diet or lifestyle.

Heat olive oil, chopped garlic, and red pepper flakes in large skillet until a nice garlic aroma occurs (about 2 minutes). Roughly chop the bok choy leaves and add to the skillet. Sauté until wilted – about 1 minute – do not overcook.

Add the roasted stems and transfer to a serving dish. Top with roasted garlic tahini sauce, drizzle with sriracha, and top with black sesame seeds. Enjoy!
