Use this easy lemon pepper seasoning recipe to make your own lemon pepper spice to use in your recipes.
My family enjoys the combination of lemon and pepper on a variety of meats and vegetables. Lemon and pepper brighten asparagus, Brussels sprouts, and green beans. Lemon pepper seasoning adds flavor to chicken, fish, and pork. While I love the flavor, I am not crazy about the additives that are found in some of the lemon pepper seasonings found in the store. The solution? Make it from scratch.
How to Make Lemon Pepper Seasoning
It is so easy to make lemon pepper seasoning! All you need is dried lemon peel, pepper, and salt.
We don't live in lemon-country, so I use this dried lemon peel which can easily be found at your local grocery store. However, if you have time, a dehydrator, and lemons, you can make your own dried lemon peel.
I use coarse-ground pepper, but you can use whole peppercorns if you wish. Just grind them before you add them to the recipe.
My preferred salt to use is coarse sea salt, but you can use your favorite salt. If you use salt crystals, be sure that you grind them before you add the salt to the recipe.
