Skip store-bought and make your own Kitchen-made Lemon Pepper Seasoning! It’s an straightforward way to flavor chicken, seafood or for seasoning marinades. This method makes 1/2 cup.

Back when I started this blog, one of the first recipes was kitchen-made lemon pepper. The recipe is still on here but it requires dehydrating lemon peels. And to be honest, I never make that recipe because it’s so involved and time consuming.

What I do make is this much much easier version.

To Make From-scratch Lemon Pepper Seasoning Set out:

dried lemon peel
coarse black pepper
onion powder
kosher salt
garlic powder

In a glass jar or mixing bowl, combine 6 tablespoons dried lemon peel, 2 tablespoons coarse ground black pepper, 2 teaspoons onion powder, 2 teaspoons kosher salt and 1-1/4 teaspoons garlic powder.

Stir to combine.

Store in a dry, dark place for up to 6 months or longer
