dried lemon zest...



a sprinkling of this dried zest brightens the flavor of roasted beets or squash, green salads, sauces, and soups. for the best results, use unwaxed lemons, such as meyer lemons.


use a microplane or the smallest holes on a box grater to zest lemons. 
spread the zest on a sheet of wax paper; let dry at room temperature for at least 24 hours.  


fold paper and press to smash the zest into a powder.  
will keep refrigerated, for up to 2 weeks.
