Once you start making your own seasoning blends at home, you'll never want to use store bought again! When making your own, you avoid the additives like cornstarch, coloring and more. Small batches are the way to go. If they're used quickly, you don't have clumping, which eliminates the need for some additives. 

This lemon pepper blend is a perfect substitute for store bought and has wonderful flavor. We love using with fish, chicken and vegetables! Our favorite way to use it is in these Air Fryer Lemon Pepper Wings!

Recipe tips and substitution ideas:

• This seasoning is easily adjusted to suit your tastes. Once mixed, do a taste test and adjust if needed. Some like more lemon zest, some like more pepper, some like to swap the garlic and onion amounts, etc.

• You can make your own dried lemon peel, if preferred. You’ll just have to zest and dry about 10 lemons to reach the amount needed for this recipe. 

• Store in a jar or airtight container in a cool dry place for up to 2-3 months for the best flavor. Freshness will last longer with higher quality ingredients.

• Try adding dried parsley or crushed red pepper! This is also great with dried orange or lime zest too!

• These spice jars are super cute and great for storing homemade seasoning blends!
