Ingredients

  • 2 bok choy quartered, lengthways
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 2 teaspoon honey
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger minced or grated
  • teaspoon garlic powder
  • pinch salt
  • 1 teaspoon sesame seeds to garnish

Instructions

  • Wash and dry the bok choy, and slice lengthways twice so they are in quarters (or halves if they are smaller in size).
  • Preheat the air fryer for 3 minutes at 360F / 180C.
  • Combine the sesame oil, honey, ginger, garlic powder and salt in a bowl. Add the bok choy and use your hands or a silicone brush to coat in the marinade. You may need to do this in two stages if you have a smaller bowl!
  • Line your air fryer basket with parchment paper if you like (for easier clean up!), then place the bok choy in the basket. Brush on any remaining marinade. Air fry at 360F / 180C for 6-7 minutes. Check the bok choy halfway through and flip if required. For crispier bok choy, air fry for a further few minutes.
  • Carefully remove the bok choy from the air fryer and place on your serving plate. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Dry off the bok choy after washing them so the honey ginger marinade sticks to the leaves more easily.
  • If your bok choy is smaller in size, cut into halves rather than quarters.
  • For a more spicy marinade, add more garlic and ginger.
  • Be very careful when removing the bok choy from the air fryer as it will be very hot.
  • Using parchment paper is optional, but does make clean up easier!
