Keto Lemon Pepper Seasoning is an easy-to-make and versatile spice mix. It gives every food (chicken, beef, vegetables, or seafood) a delicious tangy, and spicy taste. The seasoning is also easy to store & doesn’t need the fridge/freezer to keep it fresh. If you protect the seasoning from moisture, it will stay fresh for 2 years. For the best results, always reseal it after use & try to consume it within a year. Keto Lemon pepper Seasoning only contains 0.3 g of net carbs in a serving. It may contain harmful chemicals (preservatives & additives) if you use the commercial one. That’s the reason we always prefer the homemade version.

FAQs:
Do we use fresh lemon peel?
Grate the peel of the lemon and spread it in a layer (thin) on the sheet of baking. At the lowest temperature possible, dry it out in the oven. It should take an hour or so. This is a quick process.
If you have time then you may dry it on your table.
How to use the seasonings?
You are free to use the seasoning to give any dish the lemon & pepper flavoring. We use it to make chicken, seafood, salads & soup, veggies (roasted), and marinades.
Can we make the lemon pepper seasoning without salt?
It is easy to up & down the amount of seasoning without disturbing the amount of salt.
