Ingredients
  

  • 2 Bok Choy
  • ½ teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • ½ teaspoon Onion Powder
  • ½ teaspoon Paprika
  • 2 teaspoon Sesame Seeds
  • 1 teaspoon Vegetable Oil

Instructions
 

  • Give your bok choy a good rinse under cold water—those little leaves love to hold onto dirt! Pat them dry with a towel, then slice each one lengthwise into 3 or 4 pieces.
  • In a small bowl, mix together some garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika. Lay the bok choy out on a plate or tray, then sprinkle the seasoning evenly over each piece. No need to measure perfectly—just make sure every bite gets some flavor!
  • Grab a brush (or use your hands if that’s your style!) and lightly coat the bok choy with vegetable oil. This helps it crisp up beautifully. Then, sprinkle on some sesame seeds for a little crunch and nutty goodness.
  • Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (because crispy veggies are life). Arrange the bok choy in a single layer in the basket—no crowding!
  • Air fry for 7-8 minutes, giving the basket a shake halfway through. The leaves should get a little crispy, while the stems turn perfectly tender.
  • Pop that gorgeous bok choy onto a serving plate, and if you’re feeling fancy, drizzle with a little soy sauce or a squeeze of lemon juice. Serve it up as a quick side, or eat it straight from the plate. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Marinate for More Flavor: Toss the bok choy in a little soy sauce and sesame oil for 10 minutes before air frying to boost the umami taste.
  • Use High Smoke Point Oil: Swap vegetable oil with avocado or grapeseed oil for extra crispiness without burning.
  • Add a Touch of Sweetness: A sprinkle of brown sugar or honey balances the flavors and gives a beautiful caramelized finish.
