Ingredients
  

  • 3 Lemon Zest
  • 2-3 tbsp Black Pepper
  • 1 tbsp Salt

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to lowest setting.
  • In a large bowl, combine lemon zest and black pepper. Cover metal pan fitted for toaster oven with foil and spread mixture evenly in pan. Allow to bake low and slow until zest is completely dried.
  • Transfer lemon-pepper mixture to a bowl. Using the back of a spoon (or spice grinder if you have one), crush mixture until desired texture is achieved. Mix in salt, 1 tsp at a time. Continue to add salt until you have the right balance to fit your taste.

Notes:

  • If you want more of a lemon taste, reduce pepper or add more lemon zest.
  • Seasoning may be kept in an air tight container for a few months.
