4 Leeks about same length and width 4 tablespoons olive oil 1 teaspoon Kosher salt ½ teaspoon pepper 1½ teaspoon curry powder

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400 F Trim off the root ends and tough top green leafy parts from the white stalk of leek. Keep white stalk whole.Cut white stalk into half-lengthwise. Fan out layers of leek to separate it out without pulling it apart. Hold it under running water and fan open the layers to wash out any grits in between the layers, pat dry and set aside. In a small bowl mix olive oil, salt, pepper and curry powder together. Arrange the leeks on a lightly oiled baking pan. Bruch spice mix evenly over leeks. Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 20-25 minutes (Leeks should be fork tender). Remove aluminum foil and continue to bake for an additional 10 minutes or till the tops of leeks are golden brown.
