Showcase of the meal....Leeks

So I made pesto chicken and pasta for dinner, but according to the other person who lives here the showcase of the meal was the leeks.


I had never roasted leeks before.  I generally have used them as an ingredient in a larger dish such as potato leek soup.


Tonight I had two leeks and decided to try and roast them.  They turned out amazing.



Ingredients: (recipe can be doubled, tripled etc)
2 leeks
1 1/2 tsp melted butter
1 tsp olive oil
salt
pepper
1 tsp Parmesan cheese 


Preheat the oven to 375.
Place the leeks in a baking dish
Cover with the melted butter, olive oil, salt and pepper
Cover with aluminum foil
Bake for 40 minutes
Carefully remove from the oven
split the leeks and sprinkle the Parmesan cheese on top
