Homemade Lemon Pepper Seasoning
Lemon pepper seasoning is a simple mix of dried lemon peel, black pepper, and salt. My recipe is easy to follow and lasts 6 months - great for chicken, fish, or roasted vegetables.
Servings: 6 tablespoons
Ingredients
- 2-3 tablespoons lemon zest from about 5 large lemons
- 2 tablespoons whole black peppercorns
- 2 teaspoons coarse salt
Instructions
- Preheat the toaster oven or oven to 170˚F. Line a small baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Place the lemon zest in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet and place in the oven until the lemon zest is dried completely, about 60 minutes. Allow the lemon zest to cool completely.
- Transfer the lemon zest along with the peppercorns and salt into a spice grinder or a small high-powered blender and pulse a few times until the mixture is combined but still has some coarse texture. (note I over processed mine and it was too fine)
- Store in an airtight container in a spice drawer for up to six months.
Notes
Storage: Keep in a cool, dark place in a tightly sealed jar for up to six months. To keep this fresh even longer, you can freeze the mixture in an airtight container for up to two years.
