Jamaican Jerk Seasoning
Description
The seasoning combines onion powder, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, smoked or regular paprika, ground allspice, salt, black pepper, red pepper flakes, cumin, nutmeg, cinnamon, brown sugar, thyme, and dried parsley. This combination offers layers of heat, smoky notes, sweetness, and herbal undertones typical of Jamaican jerk flavor, but in a dry form.
This spice mix can be stored in a spice jar away from heat and moisture to preserve freshness and potency. It is versatile for seasoning grilled or roasted meats, fish, or vegetables, lending a complex aromatic profile to dishes.
Salt can be adjusted or omitted depending on dietary preferences. Proper storage helps keep the spices effective; faded color usually means reduced flavor strength.
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon onion powder
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 2 teaspoon smoked paprika (regular paprika is fine)
- 1 teaspoon allspice ground
- 2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper ground
- ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
- ½ teaspoon cumin ground
- ½ teaspoon nutmeg ground
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon ground
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon thyme dried
- 1 tablespoon parsley dried
Instructions
- Mix all the ingredients together in a bowl. Recipe will yield about 1/2 cup. Store in a spice jar in your spice cabinet.
Notes
- Salt amount can be adjusted or completely excluded according to taste or dietary needs.
- Store the seasoning away from heat and moisture to maintain freshness and potency.
- Spices may last up to four years if stored properly but will lose flavor as they age, indicated by faded color.
