Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 200 degrees Fahrenheit. Peel the zest off of the lemons using a vegetable peeler. Make sure not to peel the white pith under the zest.
- Chop the lemon zest into small pieces - this helps it to dry faster in the oven.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spread the chopped lemon zest and minced garlic on top in a thin layer. Bake in the oven for 1 ½ hours, or until the zest and garlic are completely dry.
- Let the dried lemon zest cool for a few minutes then use the parchment paper to pour it into your blender or spice grinder. Add the peppercorns and blend until coarsely ground.
- Transfer the ground lemon zest and pepper to a bowl and mix in the salt, if using. Store your lemon pepper in a jar in your pantry for up to a year.
