Oven Roasted Leeks With Olive Oil and Parmesan

Roasted leeks are a simple, easy-to-make side dish. Roasting leeks in an oven with incredible spice mix and cheese makes it one the most delicious side dishes.
Ingredients
4 leeks
2 tablespoons olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
1 ½ teaspoons cayenne pepper
2 tablespoons butter
¼ cup Parmesan cheese freshly grated
Method
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
2. Trim off the root ends and remove tough top green leafy parts from the white stalk of leek. Keep the white stalk whole.
3. Cut the white stalk into half-length wise.
4. Fan out layers of leek to separate it without pulling it apart. Rinse under tap water to wash out any grits in between the layers.
5. Mix salt, freshly ground pepper, cayenne pepper, and olive oil.,
6. Arrange sliced leeks on a greased baking tray in a single layer.
7. Pour the spice mix evenly all over. Use your fingers to work through the layer to spread spices evenly.
8. Cover the tray with aluminum foil-roast in the oven for about 20 to 25 minutes or until leeks are cooked to fork-tender consistency.
9. Remove aluminum foil and place the tray back into the oven for another 5 to 10 minutes.
10. Remove the tray once again, spread butter over it, and sprinkle freshly grated Parmesan cheese. Continue to cook in the oven for 2 to 3 minutes more until the cheese melts.
11. Serve hot with roast meat. It's perfect for Sunday roast dinner.
