Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 5

4 medium leeks
2 Tbsp olive oil (30 mL)
¼ tsp salt
Pinch of pepper
1 Tbsp shredded parmesan cheese (omit for vegan or dairy-free)

Steps:

Prep: Preheat oven to 400°F (204°C).
Cut: Remove the dark green portion of the leeks, then cut in half lengthwise (you can cut off the longer roots, but keep the main root bulb intact). Rinse each half well under cool water to remove any dirt that may be lodged inside the leek.
Flavor: Place leeks cutside down in a large casserole dish. Drizzle with oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper, rubbing to evenly coat.
Cook: Cover the pan with foil and cook for 10 minutes. Remove the foil, flip leeks cutside up, and sprinkle parmesan over them. Continue cooking uncovered for 15 to 25 minutes, or until leeks are tender.
Serve: Serve leeks warm, optionally topped with lemon zest or your favorite spices.
