Jamaican jerk spice is spicy rub/seasoning of Jamaican origin that is made by mixing allspice, cinnamon, cayenne, garlic powder, onion powder, crushed red pepper flakes, salt, sugar, thyme, ginger and nutmeg. Some mixes use all of these spices, and others use only some of them.

Since we love playing around with spices, we have created our own combination, that we’ve used on this delicious, flavor bursting baked tempeh. Combined with crisp cucumber and shredded carrots, sweet mango, fresh mint and cilantro, this Jamaican Jerk Tempeh Mango Bowl is a light, protein packed one bowl meal perfect for the warm months ahead.
