Instructions

1. 1 Gather all ingredients, and preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with a silicone liner (such as Silpat®).
2. 2 Combine butter, beer, salt, and sugar in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Let butter melt and bring to a simmer.

1. 1 Cut leeks about 1/4 inch above the roots and inspect for any soil. If soil is found, make another cut about 1/4 inch above the first one.
2. 2 Trim away the dark green sheaths, and again, inspect for soil. Tear away the outer layer of the white part of the leek, as it will be tough. Clean and reserve sheaths for seasoning, if desired.
