How to Grill Lemons
Grilled Lemons are a fantastic way to finish a dish, or even use to garnish a summer cocktail! And grilling lemons is super easy to do!
Servings: 1 cup (depending on size of lemons)
Cost: $3.00
Ingredients
- 4 whole lemons, sliced in half (For cocktails - can also use Meyer Lemons)
Instructions
- Preheat Grill: Prepare grill for direct or single zone (or direct) grilling with lump charcoal. Target the temperature over direct heat between 450 and 500 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Grill Lemons: Place the lemon halves over direct heat, flesh side down. When the lemons have caramelized, remove them from the grill (it should take roughly 6 - 10 minutes, depending on how hot the grill is).
- Serve: Immediately squeeze the warm lemons onto your favorite grilled dish.
Notes
For Cocktails: We recommend Meyer lemons, as they are sweeter. However they tend to be smaller, so double the batch size.
Yield: The amount of juice you will get from a lemon will depend on its size and ripeness. Plan on roughly one cup of grilled lemon juice from 4 large lemons.
