- 8 slices of bacon
- 4 heads of bok choy, chopped
- 1 teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper
- Olive oil
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Lay the bacon slices on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes or until crispy. Remove from the oven and place on a paper towel to drain excess fat.
- Wash and chop the bok choy into bite-sized pieces. Place in a large mixing bowl.
- Drizzle the bok choy with olive oil, sprinkle with salt, and add the freshly ground black pepper. Toss to ensure the bok choy is evenly coated.
- Once the bacon has cooled slightly, crumble it into small pieces and add to the bowl with the bok choy. Toss everything together gently.
- Transfer the bacon and bok choy mixture to a baking dish. Spread it out evenly. Roast in the oven for about 15-20 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the bok choy is tender and slightly crispy on the edges.
- Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving. Enjoy this Greek-inspired comfort dish warm.
