Wash and dry the lemons thoroughly, then use a microplane grater or zester to remove the yellow zest from the lemon peel. Make sure to only remove the top layer, not the white pith.
4 Tablespoons Lemon zest
Spread the fresh lemon zest on a clean paper towel and let air dry until completely dry, at least a few hours. Alternatively, dry them at a low temperature on a baking sheet in the oven.
Once completely dry, add the dried lemon zest, garlic powder, black pepper, and salt to a small bowl. Mix thoroughly, then store in a bottle or bag in the fridge!
2 teaspoons Garlic powder, 2 teaspoons Black pepper, 2 teaspoons Sea salt

Ensure lemon zest is fully dry before blending; use low oven heat if needed.
Use small preservation packets for longer shelf life. Lemon pepper seasoning makes a great gift!
Customize by adding herbs like dried rosemary, or spices like cayenne for a spicy twist.
