Best Lemon Butter Seasoned Vegetables Recipes

LEMON BUTTER SAUCE

Steps:

• Cut the butter into thin pats and lay out on a dinner plate and place the plate in the freezer.
• In a medium to large sauté pan, heat over high heat and once hot, add the wine and shallots. (Careful - the wine will splatter.). We do not suggest using a nonstick pan for this recipe.
• Stir for 30 seconds then add the lemon juice and cook until the lemon juice is reduced by half, about 1-2 minutes.
• Lower to medium low and start whisking in pats of ice-cold butter a few at a time. Whisk continually and only add the next few pats of butter after the first few have melted. Keep this up until all of the butter is in and whisked into the sauce.
• Remove from heat and add in the salt, pepper, cayenne and parsley and serve immediately.
• To hold the sauce warm until serving, heat a pan with a little water to hot. Pour the freshly made sauce into a small metal or glass bowl and place in the water to keep warm. The sauce must stay warm to maintain the emulsification.

LEMON BUTTER SAUCE

• Serve with steamed artichokes for dipping or toss with pasta. See the blog post above for additional serving suggestions.

LEMON BUTTER ROASTED VEGETABLES WITH SAUSAGE (SHEET PAN)

Steps:

• Note: I made this using 6 ounces of sausage, a combination of andouille and chicken with apple and gouda, and roughly half the quantity of vegetables, as I'm cooking just for myself. I had no zucchini or eggplant, but used the others and added a beet. The world of vegetables is available to use in this recipe.
• 1. Preheat the oven to 400°F In a small bowl, stir together the butter, lemon zest, lemon juice and garlic.
• 2. On a large baking sheet, arrange the carrots, radishes, bell pepper, and eggplant in an even layer. Drizzle about half of the lemon garlic butter over the vegetables and toss well to combine. Season with salt and pepper. (I sprayed the pan with a little olive oil).
• 3. Roast until the veggies are just tender, 15 to 17 minutes. Add the tomatoes, asparagus, zucchini and sausage. Drizzle the remaining lemon garlic butter over the mixture, and toss well to combine.
• 4. Roast until all the vegetables are very tender and the sausage has begun to brown, 17 to 20 minutes.
• Note: I got a little distracted and added more veggies to the pan than were called for. Leftovers are delicious, but you may want to gauge your quantities more carefully.
