- 2 leeks only the white and light green parts
- 1 Tablespoon olive oil
- ¼ teaspoon dried thyme leaves
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Chop the dark green section off of the leeks so that you' only have the light green and white sections remaining. Discard the dark green section.
Chop the white and light green parts of the leeks into rounds about ½ inch thick. Place in a bowl of water.
Swish the leeks around in the bowl of water, separating any layers as needed to remove the dirt in between layers. Rinse the leeks, then dry on paper towels.
Add leeks to a bowl, then add the olive oil, thyme, and salt. Toss to combine.
Place in the air fryer and air fry for 7-10 minutes at 400 degrees F, tossing every few minutes, until leeks are cooked to your desired level of doneness.
Remove from air fryer and enjoy as desired.
- All air fryers cook differently, and cook times may depend on how much oil/how much your leeks are separated. Start checking around the 6 minute mark for doneness.
- To make more crispy frizzled leeks, separate the layers of the leeks and add a little extra oil before air frying. Watch carefully so they don't burn.
