A little zest goes a long way! Lemon zest brings bright citrus flavor to your kitchen, adding a sunny lift to sweet treats and savory favorites.
Stir it into cookie dough, cakes, dressings, or marinades, or add it to chicken, fish, and roasted vegetables. It delivers lemon’s fragrant flavor without the extra liquid of lemon juice. Use it straight from the jar in recipes with moisture, or finely crush it for a finishing sprinkle.
Ingredients: Lemon zest.
Lemon Herb Butter: Mix ½ cup softened butter with ½ teaspoon lemon zest, ½ teaspoon dried parsley, and a pinch of salt. Let stand for 15 minutes to allow the zest to soften. Melt over warm vegetables, fish, or chicken.
Lemon Roasted Potatoes: Toss 1 pound halved baby potatoes with 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 teaspoon lemon zest, ½ teaspoon garlic powder, and salt and pepper to taste. Roast at 425°F for 30–40 minutes, turning halfway through, until golden and tender.
