Bonnies Homemade Lemon Pepper Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F (95 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Wash and dry the lemons. Peel away the zest from both lemons using a vegetable peeler, making sure not to get any of the pith. Spread out peels in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the peels have curled up and dried, about 30 minutes. Turn off oven and allow lemon peels to cool inside turned off oven, propping the door open with a wooden spoon to allow moisture to escape, about 20 minutes. Remove and allow to cool completely before proceeding to the next step.
• Combine dried lemon peels and peppercorns in a food processor fitted with a blade. Blend until coarse. Add dehydrated garlic and onion. Blend until fine and thoroughly combined.
• Remove and allow to rest for a few hours before using so flavors can meld.

Steps:

• 1. PREPARE THE POTATOES: Wash the potatoes and cut away any unsightly blemishes or eyes but leave some of the red skin on the potatoes. Cut the potatoes in half. Place the cleaned potatoes in a pan with a tight fitting lid, cover with water, add 1 teaspoon of salt to the water and bring to a boil, and cook potatoes until tender when tested with a fork. Drain the potatoes in a colander. Keep them hot while you make the lemon pepper butter.
• 2. MAKE THE LEMON PEPPER BUTTER: Place the hot pan you used to boil the potatoes in back on the burner on medium low heat. Add the butter, lemon pepper, garlic, lemon juice. Mix well, get it hot and then add the potatoes to the pan carefully, turning them over very gently to coat with the lemon pepper butter. Season with the salt and pepper, and add the green onions, turn one more time and serve. Enjoy!
• 3. Cook's Tip: This dish comes together very fast as soon as the potatoes are drained. You can buy yourself some time by leaving the potatoes in the hot water until you are almost ready to serve. Then drain and add potatoes to the butter as directed below.

Steps:

• Preheat toaster oven to lowest setting.
• In a large bowl, combine lemon zest and black pepper. Cover metal pan fitted for toaster oven with foil and spread mixture evenly in pan. Allow to bake low and slow until zest is completely dried. Mine took about 26-30 minutes.
• Transfer lemon-pepper mixture to a bowl. Using the back of a spoon (or spice grinder if you have one), crush mixture until desired texture is achieved. Mix in salt, 1 tsp at a time. Continue to add salt until you have the right balance to fit your taste.
• Notes.
• Depending on size of lemons, you may need more lemons.
• If you want more of a lemon taste, reduce pepper or add more lemon zest.
• Seasoning may be kept in an air tight container for a few months.

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan, melt together the peanut butter and butter, stirring occasionally until warm and smooth.

Roll tablespoonfuls of the mixture into balls and chill.
• In the microwave or in a metal bowl over a pan of simmering water, melt chocolate chips, stirring frequently until smooth. Dip the peanut butter balls into the chocolate using a toothpick. Place onto waxed paper to set.
