Parmesan Roasted Leeks

Ingredients:

• 4 large leeks

• salt and pepper to taste

• 1/4 cup melted butter

• 1/3 cup parmesan cheese shredded

Instructions:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

• Cut the root and dark green tops off of the leeks. Cut in half lengthwise and wash between the layers to remove any dirt.

• Place leeks cut side down in an oven-safe pan with 1/2 cup water. Cover and simmer on the stove top on low for about 5 minutes or until slightly tender.

• Drain any water and flip leeks over so they are cut side up.

• Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Drizzle with melted butter and parmesan. Bake for 25-35 minutes or until leeks are tender and golden.
