Instructions

Prep the lemons: Wash and dry the lemons well. Trim off the ends and slice into very thin rounds (as thin as possible). Remove any seeds as you go.
Fry the slices: In a medium skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat until it starts to shimmer (but before it smokes). Carefully slide the lemon slices into the oil (if you have a splatter guard, this would be a good time to use it). Cook, tossing occasionally, until the lemon peels crisp (3 to 5 minutes).
Drain: Remove the skillet from the heat. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the lemons to a plate lined with a paper towel. Immediately season with a big pinch of salt and the sumac, if using.
To use: Use the fried lemon rings as a condiment or as garnish. Allow the lemon-infused oil to cool before using as a finishing oil or for dipping bread.

Notes

Fried lemon rings will last in the fridge 3 to 4 days. They may lose their crispness but will remain utterly delicious. I promise!
When working with hot oil, make sure your tools are very dry. Water will make the oil sputter and splatter.
