"Recipe from Simply Scratch. She says you can up the lemon for a more lemony taste or up the pepper for a more peppery taste- the end balance of flavor will be up to you. Not tested yet- I am posting for future use (and I still have some lemon pepper right now). I will mark as tested and approved when I try it or someone else does with a favorable review. Just so you know."

Step by Step Method

Step 1

Remove zest from lemons with a microplane grater.

Step 2

Mix zest with ground pepper, coriander and allspice.

Step 3

Spread on parchment paper on a baking sheet and dry in a low oven (about 250F), stirring occasionally, until zest is dry- an hour more or less.

Step 4

Grind lemon pepper in a small spice dedicated coffee mill, mortar and pestle, or mini food processor bowl until it looks like sand.

Step 5

Mix with kosher salt.

Step 6

Store in an airtight container up to 6 months.

Tips


  • Spice mill, mortar and pestle, or a mini food processor that will grind pepper.
  • Save fruit of lemon to juice- you can juice it and freeze it in ice cube trays. Standard ice cube trays hold about 2 tbsp. in each ice cube slot- freeze juice cubes, then store in a freezer bag to use in cooking.

I especially love lemon pepper seasoning on chicken and fish and when I saw this posted I wanted to make up a batch. I ground up the peppercorns, allspice, coriander and salt in my coffee grinder and that made it so easy. I used it on fish last night and my fish was really flavorful and delicious! Next I will use it on some chicken baked in the oven and I even see myself using it on pork. Thanks for this one Sue! Linda
