microwave baked leek is a quick and easy dish that combines the natural sweetness of leeks with the convenience of a microwave oven. First, wash the leeks thoroughly to remove any dirt or sand. Cut off the roots and trim the tops if necessary. Then, slice them into your desired size. Next, place the leeks in a microwave-safe bowl and drizzle some olive oil over them. You can also add a pinch of salt, pepper, or even a splash of soy sauce for extra flavor. Cover the bowl with a microwave-safe lid or plastic wrap, leaving a small vent for steam to escape. Microwave on high for about 3-5 minutes, depending on the power of your microwave and how soft you want the leeks to be. Be sure to check halfway through and stir them gently. Once done, serve hot with a sprinkle of sesame seeds or chopped green onions for garnish. This simple yet delicious dish is perfect for a healthy snack or side dish. Enjoy the freshness of nature's bounty right at home! 🍴🌱
