Steps

1

Trim the dark green leaves at the bottom of the leek. Don’t throw them away you can use them in salads, dips and as a topping
2

Cut the leeks in half lengthwise, then rinse them very well to get rid of the dirt
3

Drizzle some oil on both sides and a pinch of salt
4

Then place them on a tray with the cut side down
5

Roast in a preheated oven on 180C for 20 minutes. Them turn them with the cut side up and continue roasting for 5 minutes until perfectly soft and caramelised.

You can add a sprinkle of parmesan or cheddar or any cheese just 2 minutes before you take them out. If parmesan, better to sprinkle some upon serving.

Tips

How to prepare leeks (and remove soil)

Using a sharp knife, slice the leek in half lengthwise starting from about halfway up the white stalk and through the green tops. You want the root to remain intact.
