Spring and summer come with some delicious seasonal produce, like bok choy! Bok choy is a member of the cruciferous vegetable family (along with kale, cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli) and is a good source of vitamins and minerals like magnesium, calcium, vitamin A, and vitamin C- amongst others.

Bok choy isn’t a veggie I usually make because honestly, I don’t love it- however, I made this yummy recipe because I got bok choy in my seasonal veggie share (that started last week, and I’m so excited about it!)- and it’s pretty darn good.

Try making this recipe for your family parties or even a simple weeknight meal- it’s pretty tasty!

Enjoy!

Garlicky Bok Choy

Prep time: 5 minutes

Directions:

1. Wash and prepare the bok choy.
2. In a large pan (you may need two- which is why so many of the ingredients are divided!)- heat the avocado oil until hot- 2-3 minutes.
