Bok choy is awesome. And it's good for you! (It has plenty of of vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin K and beta-carotene.)

The oven is the best way I know to cook it. Stir frying is also common, but I like the roasted texture much better. Like kale, the dark bok choy leaves get crispy in the oven (mmmm), and because this recipe is so simple, you can throw it into just about anything.

This easy baby bok choy goes great with these Dongbei-Style Braised Chicken Thighs and these Garlicky Roasted Shiitake Mushrooms. Or these Chinese Five-Spice Skillet Pork Chops. Or you could add it to this Paleo Kimchi-Bacon Fried Cauliflower Rice. Or you could make them into tiny charred Caesar salads. Really, the limit does not exist.
