Number Of Ingredients 3

6 leeks, white and pale-green parts only, cut in half lengthwise
1/2 cup olive oil
Salt

Steps:

  • Place a rimmed baking sheet in oven and preheat to 400°F. Cut 6 leeks, white and pale-green parts only, in half lengthwise. Rinse well and pat completely dry. Toss with 1/2 cup olive oil; season with salt. Arrange leeks, cut side down, on hot baking sheet and cover loosely with foil. Reduce oven temperature to 300°F. Bake until leeks are lightly browned on cut sides and very tender, about 1 1/2 hours.
  • Uncover leeks and turn cut side up. Increase oven temperature to 400°F; roast leeks until golden brown, 15-20 minutes. (Reserve the oil for making vinaigrettes or roasting vegetables. Let cool; cover and chill.)

These roasted leeks are a great way to use up leftover leeks. I always have a few left over after making leek soup, and this is a great way to use them up.

I've tried roasting leeks before, but they always came out tough. This recipe was perfect! The leeks were tender and delicious.

Not worth the effort. The leeks took forever to roast and they weren't even that good.

Meh. I found the leeks to be a bit bland. I think I'll stick to my usual roasted vegetable recipes.

Wow! These leeks were amazing. I'm not usually a big fan of leeks, but these were so tender and flavorful. I'll definitely be making them again.

Easy and tasty. I followed the recipe exactly and the leeks turned out great. I served them as a side dish with grilled chicken and they were a perfect complement.

Not bad! The leeks were a bit dry for my taste, but the flavor was there. I'll try adding some more olive oil next time.

Scrumptious! The leeks were wonderfully tender and flavorful. I added a bit of garlic and thyme, and the aromas filled my kitchen. My family loved them!
