Roasted Leeks with Parmesan and Butter

Roasted Leeks

  • 6 leeks
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil OR butter
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • ¼ cup Parmesan – grated- I use non-dairy Parmesan alternative

  • Preheat the oven to 425°F.

  • Trim the hairy bottom of the white part of the leeks. Trim the dark greens, leaving the white and light green parts.

  • Cut the leeks in half lengthwise, then rinse them well (there’s often dirt trapped in there) and dry. Arrange them in a 9 X 13 baking dish, cut side down.

  • Drizzle the leeks with olive oil and use your hands to coat them thoroughly. Sprinkle them with salt and pepper.

  • Roast them for 20 minutes. Remove from the oven, turn so that their cut side is up, and sprinkle with the Parmesan.

  • Continue roasting until the leeks are fork-tender and golden brown, 5-10 more minutes. Serve immediately.
