Directions

Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Chop leek tops into 1-inch pieces. Rinse in cold water and drain well.
Place the leeks in a bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Toss well to coat. Tip onto the prepared baking sheet and spread out in a single layer.
Place leeks in oven and cook for 15 to 20 minutes or until tender and a little browned in places. Turn the leeks after 10 minutes to ensure even cooking.
Whisk together the red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, and parsley. Season with salt and pepper and drizzle over hot leeks.
