2 large leeks, root ends and dark green tops removed
-
1 tablespoon olive oil
-
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
-
2 tablespoons lemon juice
Directions

Preheat an outdoor grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate. Cut each leek into 4-inch sticks, then cut each stick in half lengthwise.
-
Place leek sticks in a bowl. Pour olive oil on top. Season with salt and pepper. Gently toss to combine.
-
Place leek sticks directly on the grill grate, cut side down. Cook until grill marks form, about 2 minutes.

Using tongs, gently flip leeks over. Cook until grill marks form and leeks are beginning to soften, about 2 minutes. Splash lemon juice over the tops. Cook 1 minute more.
