Lemon Wedges Recipes

LEMON-GARLIC POTATO WEDGES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Lightly grease a large baking sheet with cooking spray, or line with foil and grease the foil. Set aside.
• Whisk olive oil, butter, garlic, salt and pepper together in a large bowl. Cut each unpeeled potato into 8 wedges, add to the bowl, and toss to coat. Spread potato wedges out on the baking sheet.
• Bake until potatoes are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, 25 to 30 minutes.
• Remove the potatoes from the oven. Combine lemon zest and parsley in a small bowl, sprinkle over the potatoes, and serve.

GLAZED LEMON WEDGES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F (325°F for dark or nonstick pans). Spray bottoms and sides of two 8-inch round cake pans with baking spray with flour, or line with foil.
• In large bowl, beat cake mix, butter, 2 tablespoons lemon peel and the egg with electric mixer on low speed until crumbly. Beat on medium speed until dough forms. Press half of dough in each pan.
• Bake 17 to 23 minutes or until edges are light golden brown. Cool 10 minutes.
• In small bowl, mix glaze ingredients until smooth. Spoon glaze over warm shortbread; spread to edges of pans. Cool completely, about 50 minutes. Garnish with lemon peel. Cut each shortbread into 12 wedges. Store loosely covered.

QUICK PRESERVED LEMONS

Steps:

• Trim the ends off the lemons. Slice each lemon into 8 wedges, removing any seeds as you go. Reserve as much of the juice as possible.
• Layer the lemon wedges in a wide-mouthed 16-ounce canning jar, covering each layer with salt. Pack the jar as tightly as possible, pressing down to release the lemons' juice as you go and leaving about 1/4 inch of headspace in the jar.
• Cover the wedges with the reserved lemon juice from the cutting board and the ends. If your lemons do not release a significant amount of juice, top off the jar with the juice of another lemon.
• Stash in the refrigerator for 4 days, then flip the jar over and age another 4 days before sampling. The peel should be nice and soft. Rinse before using.

CANDIED LEMON SLICES

Steps:

• Prepare an ice-water bath; set aside. Using a mandoline or sharp knife, cut lemon into 12 paper-thin slices; discard seeds and ends of rind.
• Bring a medium saucepan of water to a rolling boil. Remove from heat, and add lemon slices; stir until softened, about 1 minute. Drain, and immediately plunge slices into ice-water bath. Drain.
• Bring sugar and 1 cup water to a boil in a medium skillet, swirling to dissolve sugar. When liquid is clear and bubbling, reduce heat to medium-low. Add lemon slices, arranging them in one layer with tongs. Simmer (do not let boil) until rinds are translucent, about 1 hour.
• Transfer to a baking sheet lined with parchment. Let stand until ready to serve. Lemon slices can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature up to 1 day.

LEMON & ROSEMARY POTATO WEDGES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Peel the potatoes and cut into thick wedges. Put in a pan, pour in enough water to cover and bring to the boil. Simmer for 2 mins, then drain well, shaking the colander.
• Put the olive oil, lemon juice and rosemary in a roasting tin with some salt and pepper. Add the potatoes and toss well until they are coated and glistening. Leave to soak up the oil and lemon for 10 mins, then bake for 20-30 mins, shaking the tin halfway through until the potatoes are nicely browned and glossy.

ROASTED LEMON-GARLIC POTATO WEDGES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
• Toss potato wedges with olive oil, melted butter, lemon juice, minced garlic, thyme, garlic salt, and onion powder in a large bowl. Season with freshly ground cracked pepper to taste. Spread the potatoes in an even layer in the prepared baking dish.
• Roast in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Remove the pan from the oven and flip the potato wedges. Continue roasting until the potatoes are golden and cooked through, about 20 minutes more. Sprinkle with parsley and serve.
