Fire up the grill.

Grilling can be healthy if you skip the processed fatty meats such as sausage and hot dogs. Add some veggies and you can get a great balanced meal loaded with healthy nutrients. 

These kabobs are a great example, they are loaded with flavor, but are actually good for you too.

Plus- grilled peppers are one of my favorite ways to eat vegetables. So tasty and nutritious.

What is Caribbean Jerk Seasoning?

“Jerk” refers to the way that a meat, vegetable, or fruit is seasoned and cooked. Traditional jerk flavoring uses a marinade or paste containing allspice and habanero peppers.

The meat is marinated and then slow cooked over fire or a grill. You can make your own seasoning, or buy it in a bottle. 

What Does Caribbean Jerk Flavoring Taste Like? 

Jerk seasoning is a Jamaican style dish that brings an amazing blend of spices to create an island flavor.

The flavors typically come from a mixture of allspice, ginger, garlic, nutmeg, and thyme, and sometimes habanero peppers for a little heat. 

With a fantastic seasoning blend and a delicious smokey grill flavor, these Caribbean Jerk grilled vegetables are sure to be a favorite.
