Do you love jerk chicken? Than be prepared to love these jerk seasoned easy grilled vegetables! They are so easy to make with a simple homemade jerk sauce that is paleo, vegan and whole30 friendly!
Okay ever since we created these crispy grilled brussels sprouts, we are low-key obsessed with grilling everythangggg.
Grilling food is just so much easier, faster and tastier than cooking in an oven. You get a certain delicious taste that you can’t get anywhere else, you agree? You know whats better than grilled veggies!? Grilled veggies marinated in a jerk sauce, they are pretty dang awesome. Now jerk sauce is typically used on chicken, but why not use it on veggies?
We both became fans of jerk sauce when our co-worker made use a homemade jar of his own jerk sauce, and we became obsessed. If you’ve never tried jerk sauce before, it’s a slightly sweet Jamaican sauce typically made of lots of spices such as cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves and allspice and then mixed with lime juice, ACV and olive oil. It might sound strange, but if you’ve tried it, you know how amazing it is.
What gives these jerk seasoned veggies an extra boost of flavor is Fire Cider Apple Vinegar and Spice Tonic. This tonic consists of organic raw apple cider vinegar, veggies, fruits, roots and spices, that can be added to sauces, juices, drinks and teas. It’s a great way to get the amazing healing benefits of ACV in a tasty and creative way, which is why we love adding it to our jerk seasoned veggies!
These veggies are flavor packed from the jerk sauce and the grilling! You will love these! Don’t be intimidated for making your own jerk sauce, it’s incredibly easy and even more defocus! Plus this recipe is vegan, paleo and whole30 friendly!
