Ingredients
- 3-4 large leeks Note 1
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon sweet paprika Note 2
- ½ teaspoon hot paprika more or less to taste
- Fine sea salt and ground black pepper
- 1-2 tablespoons fresh parsley chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 430°F/ 220°C.
- Clean leeks: Wash the leeks. Trim and discard the roots. Remove the dark green leafy parts (Note 3). Cut the leeks into smaller pieces, about 4 inches/ 10 cm long. Rinse under running water, ensuring you remove all the dirt that may be between the layers of the leek.3-4 large leeks
- Cut leeks: Halve the leek pieces lengthwise (See images above). Place them in the roasting tin.
- Season: Whisk oil and spices in a small bowl. Pour the mixture over the leeks and massage well with your hands to coat them completely with oil.2 tablespoons olive oil + 1 teaspoon sweet paprika + ½ teaspoon hot paprika + fine sea salt and ground black pepper
- Roast them for about 40 minutes. Start checking after 25-30 minutes, about every 5 minutes or so; the roasting time depends on the thickness of the leek halves and your oven. When done, the roasted leeks should be tender and easily pierced with a fork.
- Remove the outer leaf before serving. Sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve as suggested above.1-2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Notes
- Leeks: You will only need the white and very light green parts. If the leeks are smaller, use more. There's no need to cut them in half lengthwise if they're thin.
- Spices: Both paprika sorts are optional; you can only use salt and pepper or other spices.
- Don't discard the dark green parts unless they are very wilted. Use them to make stock and add them to soups, frittata, scrambled eggs, or other dishes.
