Ingredients
- 3 tbsp Dried Lemon Peel
- 1 tbsp Coarse Black Pepper
- 1 tsp Garlic Powder
- ½ tsp Onion Powder
- ½ tsp Citric Acid optional for more lemony flavor
Instructions
- Add all of the ingredients to an airtight container

Notes
- Salt-free blend: This lemon pepper seasoning keeps the focus on lemon and black pepper, so you can salt the final dish to taste.
- Use dried lemon peel: Fresh zest adds moisture and is better for recipes you’re using right away. Dried lemon peel helps this seasoning store well.
- Citric acid is optional: It adds a sharper lemony tang. If you don’t have it, finish the cooked food with fresh lemon juice.
- Shake before using: The lemon peel, pepper, and finer spices can settle differently in the jar.
- Best uses: Try it on wings, chicken, seafood, vegetables, melted butter, marinades, and sweeter lemon pepper sauces.
