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.)

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my leeks turned out a bit dry. I think I might have roasted them for too long.

I found this recipe to be a bit bland. I think it could use some more spices or herbs.

These leeks were a bit too oily for my taste. I think I would reduce the amount of olive oil next time.
