The beauty of lemon thyme is its versatility - it can be used in any number of ways thanks to its citrus-forward flavor. It can be substituted for regular thyme in many recipes, though it will bring lemon flavor and aroma to the party, which may not be ideal for every dish.
Using fresh lemon thyme in place of dried thyme in a roasted lemon chicken adds extra zest. It can also be used in place of the common variety for lemon thyme bars, a blend of sweet and savory that gets a dose of sophistication thanks to the swap.
Lemon thyme complements roasted potatoes and can be used to make a compound butter. Or drink it up in an herbal lemonade or gin and tonic. With its aromatic and flavorful properties, the tiny leaves of the lemon thyme pack a punch that so many dishes will benefit from.
