Notes

Let the vegetables marinate for 15-20 minutes so that all the flavors get infused properly.

For hard vegetables (like sweet potato & red potato) it's best to steam, otherwise they won't be cooked properly.

You can grill the vegetables in an Oven or Air Fryer or Mealthy Crisplid or Ninja Foodi.

You can store leftover Jerk Seasoning in referigertaor for 3-5 days, and use on other veggies & fruits.
