    In our house, we love jerk seasoning on everything. The deep flavor of allspice mixed with a little bit of heat make for a flavorful addition to every meal.

    Jerk seasoning is such a delicious addition to chicken, pork, or beef - and we love it best on Instant Pot Jerk Chicken. It is Paleo, Whole30, and free of any added junk. It is also surprisingly tasty just sprinkled on roasted vegetables. We always keep a jar in the pantry.

    🥘 Ingredient Notes

    The ingredients of Jamaican Jerk Seasoning laid out in small colorful bowls and labeled on a marble backdrop with a blue dish towel.

    My favorite jerk seasoning is made with:

    • allspice
    • chili powder
    • cinnamon
    • crushed red pepper flakes
    • dried thyme
    • garlic powder
    • kosher salt
    • nutmeg
    • onion powder
    • smoked paprika (I like to get this from Trader Joes)

    🥣 How to Make It

    To make jerk seasoning, combine all ingredients in a mason jar or airtight container and shake well to combine. This recipe makes about ¼ cup.

    Uses for Jerk Seasoning

    My favorite things to put jerk seasoning on are chicken breasts, Chicken wings, and french fries. It creates such a flavorful crust on meat!

    Our favorite meal using this seasoning is Instant Pot Jamaican Jerk Chicken with crispy sweet potato noodles from Nom Nom Paleo. Something about the pop of Jamaican Jerk flavor mixed with the rich and tasty bacon flavor on the sweet potatoes makes this combo a real winner.
