Best Paleo Air Fryer Bok Choy and Shiitake Mushrooms
We love an excellent Paleo-style vegetable dish made in the air fryer! This one uses bok choy and shiitake mushrooms for an Asian flair. Fresh bok choy is washed and quartered; then, it is air fried along with rehydrated shiitake mushrooms. We love using dried shiitake mushrooms as they have so much concentrated flavor! Feel free to use fresh shiitake mushrooms instead. The bok choy is seasoned with coconut amino and arrowroot starch to thicken the sauce around the vegetables.
How can I cook this dish if I do not have an air fryer?
If you do not have an air fryer, you can use the same ingredients but cook them in a saute pan. Use the avocado oil to coat the pan before adding the garlic, and cook using the same steps below.
What if I cannot find bok choy?
You can substitute bok choy with other cabbage-like vegetables like gai lan (Chinese broccoli) or cabbage.
To make the ultimate pairing, serve this with other Paleo Chinese-inspired recipes like our Best Paleo Instant Pot Beef and Broccoli!
Note
The weight of shiitake mushrooms in this recipe is for the rehydrated mushrooms.
