Chef's Tips
To clean leeks effectively, slice them lengthwise and then submerge them in a bowl of cold water. Agitate the water to remove any dirt or sand trapped between the layers.
For a richer flavor, you can add a drizzle of balsamic glaze after roasting.
Roasted leeks can be served warm or at room temperature.
Leftover roasted leeks can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
