Ingredients

  • 4 heads baby bok choy, (1 1/4 pounds), trimmed, leaves separated

  • 4 teaspoons canola oil

  • 1 clove garlic, minced

  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt

  • ½ teaspoon freshly grated lemon zest

  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

  • 1 ½ teaspoons chopped fresh tarragon or 3/4 teaspoon dried

  • 1 teaspoon mirin, (see Note)

  • Freshly ground pepper, to taste

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Toss bok choy, oil, garlic and salt in a roasting pan. Roast on lowest rack, stirring twice, until wilted and tender-crisp, about 6 minutes. Whisk lemon zest and juice, tarragon, mirin and pepper in a small bowl. Drizzle over the roasted bok choy.

Tips

Note: Mirin is a low-alcohol rice wine essential to Japanese cooking. Look for it in your supermarket with the Asian or gourmet ingredients. An equal portion of sherry or white wine with a pinch of sugar may be substituted.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)

(-) Information is not currently available for this nutrient. If you are following a special diet for medical reasons, be sure to consult with your primary care provider or a registered dietitian to better understand your personal nutrition needs.
