Homemade lemon pepper seasoning is a zesty blend that adds a burst of citrusy, peppery flavor. This 5-ingredient, homemade version is fresher and avoids additives!
Set your oven to its lowest temperature, and spread freshly grated lemon zest on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Put the zest in the preheated oven until it’s completely dry. This can take anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour, depending on the coarseness of the zest.
Once the zest is completely dried, mix it with the black pepper, sea salt, onion powder, and garlic powder. For a more even consistency, you can blitz the mixture in a spice grinder if you have one!
Use your lemon pepper seasoning immediately, or transfer it to an airtight glass jar or container for storage.
