1-2 Sweet potatoes, cut into 8 wedges each

bag of Bok Choy, chop off any brown leafs, and cut off core on the base (you want loose leaves)

• Meanwhile, mix in a bowl:
• bok choy leaves
• garlic, sliced or minced
• drizzle of olive oil/salt/pepper
• white scallion ends, sliced
• After the potaotes seem about done, add the bok choy mixture to the tray, and broil for another 2-3 minuets (watch so as to not burn)

VERY easy and good--very good!
