- 1 tablespoon dried lemon peel , finely chopped or grated (or sub 1 teaspoon lemon pepper)
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder

Instructions
- To dry your lemon peel, use a vegetable peeler to remove the skin. Try not to remove the white part.
- Set the peels inside facing up on a clean surface and allow to dry at room temperature for 3-4 days or until firm and shriveled. Alternatively, spread on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake at 200° F for 20-30 minutes or until curled and dry.
