Bok Choy Chips
Eating Rules - https://eatingrules.com/bok-choy-chips
2 heads bok choy
1/2 tsp extra-vergin olive oil
A bit of sea salt
Heat oven to 325 degrees. Cut bottoms off bok choy leaves, leaving the green tops. Tear leaves in half if they are large.
Place leaves in a large mixing bowl. Add a touch of olive oil and stir - just enough to coat the leaves but not make them soggy. Place in a single layer on a nonstick baking sheet, spreading out any leaves that are folded. Sprinkle a few sea salt grains over the leaves.
Bake for about 6 minutes. Remove tray from oven and remove individual chips that are crispy and done. Leaves with more stem may need to go back in the oven for another minute or so.
And enjoy!
