Emeril Lagasse Essence Spice Blend Recipe

Emeril Lagasse's Essence spice blend brings a robust and well-balanced mix of flavors to so many dishes. It's awesome, ya'll!
I love using it when grilling meats or adding a kick to roasted vegetables.
You'll only need staple ingredients like paprika, garlic, and onion powder to get this stuff ready.
One trick I’ve found is letting the blend sit for a day before using it—it gives the flavors time to fuse together and intensify.
Another recommendation is using a mortar and pestle to break down any clumps—it keeps the blend smooth and even.
