The dried lemon pepper can be pulverized to allow the ingredients to spread more easily when you use it as a seasoning, or it can be left chunky, depending on personal taste. Lemon pepper seasoning can be used on a wide assortment of meats and vegetables, and some people also like to set it out at the table so that people can dress their own food with lemon pepper. This spice mixture pairs especially well with fish, pork, and summer vegetables like zucchini.

Basic lemon pepper is often made with black pepper, although peppercorns of different colors can be used as well. You can also add salt, dried herbs, or other seasonings, depending on personal choice. In all cases, store your home made lemon pepper in an airtight container to ensure that it stays fresh, and try to use it within six months to a year. If your lemon pepper starts to taste a little stale, you can toast it to revive it.
