- Heat the oil in a deep pan with a basket till just smoking. In a wide, shallow bowl, mix half the vegetables and 1/3 of the lemon wedges. Sprinkle with 1 c. cornstarch and toss quickly with hands to coat. Toss into a large strainer with a handle and bat against hands to remove excess cornstarch. Drop the coated vegetables and lemons into the oil and cook till golden and crispy (about 2 min).
- Remove to a plate lined with paper towels to drain. Immediately repeat with the 1/3 of the remaining lemons and all other vegetables. Season the warm fried foods with salt and serve immediately with fresh lemon wedges.
