Equipment
Ingredients
- ¼ cup lemon zest about 2-3 lemons
- 1 Tablespoon black peppercorns
- ½ Tablespoon kosher salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to the lowest setting. (170 degrees F) Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
- Spread the lemon zest onto one section of the prepared baking sheet in an even layer, taking care there aren’t any clumps. Place the peppercorns on the sheet in another section, keeping them separated from the lemon.
- Bake until the lemon is completely dry. Approximately 30-40 minutes. You will be able to tell because the color will deepen and it will be crunchy, not soft.
- Transfer the peppercorns to a small food processor or spice grinder. Pulse them until they are finely ground.
- Add in the dried lemon zest and salt and give a quick pulse to combine everything.
Notes
This recipe makes about 3 Tablespoons. The nutrititional information is for the total amount.
Store your lemon pepper seasoning in an airtight container in a cool, dry place.
If you notice clumping, it’s usually from moisture. You can add a few dried beans to the container to help absorb excess moisture and keep your seasoning free-flowing.
