Jamaican Jerk Seasoning Blend
Description
This dry seasoning blend includes common Jamaican jerk spices assembled to capture the distinctive flavor profile without liquid marinade. The mixture balances sweet, savory, and spicy elements using spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice alongside cayenne, paprika, and red pepper flakes. Salt is incorporated to enhance flavor but can be omitted if preferring to salt dishes separately. The combination delivers aromatic warmth and a mild heat that complements grilled or roasted meats and vegetables.
Because it is a dry blend, it can be stored long term in an airtight container, making it convenient for seasoning multiple meals. Adjustments to cayenne can increase or tone down the heat level as desired. The blend is versatile for marinating or topping various proteins and vegetables.
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon onion powder
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 2 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoon black pepper cracked
- 2 teaspoon thyme dried leaves
- 2 teaspoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon parsley dried
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon ground allspice
- ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon nutmeg grated
- ½ teaspoon cumin ground
- ¼ teaspoon cloves ground
Instructions

Notes
- Adjust the cayenne pepper to increase or decrease spiciness according to your preference.
- Salt is included for seasoning, so avoid additional salting during marinating unless desired.
- Sugar balances the heat; raw sugar is preferred but regular white sugar works as well.
