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. 

You won’t be able to get enough of these steak and veggie kabobs.

Make it a family event and get some fresh air and exercise while you’re outside grilling tonight.

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. 

What Side Dishes Go With Jerk Chicken?

This recipe is the answer to that common question, ‘what side dishes should I make for Caribbean jerk chicken?’. The mixture of veggies such as zucchini squash, yellow squash, bell peppers, mushrooms, and asparagus pair amazingly with this delicious seasoning mix below.

Try it- this is the perfect side dish for jerk chicken. It’s the best blend of veggies you need to go with Grilled Caribbean Jerk Chicken. 

Some other great side dishes for jerk chicken are coleslaw, grilled corn on the cob, green beans, baked beans, or fruit dishes. Try some of my favorites to pair with the chicken and veggies:
