Ingredients
- 6 bunches baby bok choy cleaned and cut in half lengthwise—see note
- 3 tablespoons olive oil divided
- 1 cup grated hard cheese Parmesan cheese, or vegan gourmet cheddar
- 1 cup grated apple
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
- Cover the bottom of a large rimmed baking sheet with one tablespoon of olive oil.
- Arrange the bok choy on the baking sheet cut sides up.
- Divide the grated cheese and apple equally on top of the bok choy and a little between the leaves.
- Season to taste with salt and a few grinds of black pepper.
- Sprinkle the remaining two tablespoons of olive oil on top of the vegetables and the leaves' ends.
- Tip: use a pastry brush to ensure that all leaves are covered with olive oil (feel free to use maybe one extra tablespoon of olive oil than suggested).
- Place in the oven for 10 minutes or until the leaves become wilted and slightly brown and crispy, but the vegetable is still tender-crisp.
- Put bok choy on a platter or serving dish. Enjoy!

Notes
- Baby Bok Choy: If some vegetables are larger than others, cut them lengthwise in thirds to make them roughly the same size, so they cook evenly.
- How to Clean Baby Bok Choy: Rinse thoroughly in cold water to remove any grit in between the leaves and the bottom base. Pat-dry with a paper towel.
