Atl Lemon Pepper Seasoning

• total time: 3 minutes

Ingredients

4 large (or 5 small) lemons, zested

2 Tbs black pepper, coarsely ground

2 tsp garlic powder

2 tsp onion powder

2 Tbs flaky salt (like Maldon) or 1 Tbs kosher salt

2 tsp citric acid (optional, for extra zing)

Directions

Zest lemons using a Microplane and spread in a thin, even layer on a plate.

Dehydrate the zest by either leaving on the counter for a few days or microwaving on high in 30–60 sec intervals, stirring between, for 2–4 mins total until fully dry.

Combine all ingredients in a mortar & pestle or spice grinder and grind to your desired consistency. I like a medium grind with a few pieces of zest intact.

Store in an airtight container for 2–3 months. Shake well before using to reincorporate.

I like to toss this on wings for a quick, flavorful punch. Stay tuned, my wings recipe is coming soon!
