How to use lemon pepper
Lemon pepper is a blend of dried lemon zest and cracked black pepper. It's a finishing seasoning — you sprinkle it onto food before or after cooking to add bright, peppery flavor without any extra salt or fat. You don't need a recipe; you just need to know what it goes on.
Bright, zesty, and peppery — like a squeeze of lemon you can sprinkle.
Seasonings like lemon pepper are the secret to eating well: they add big flavor with no sugar and little or no sodium, so a plain piece of chicken or a pile of vegetables tastes like something you look forward to.
Ways to use it
- 01Season before cooking (easiest)
Sprinkle it over chicken, fish, or vegetables before roasting or sautéing so the flavor cooks in.
- 02Finish a dish
Add a pinch at the end, right before eating, for a fresh hit of brightness — especially good on eggs and roasted vegetables.
- 03Wake up plain foods
Stir a little into plain yogurt for a quick dip, or toss with cooked pasta or lentils to make them lively.
