Vegan Jerk Meatloaf
Vegan Jerk Meatloaf
Jerk seasoning is a bold and aromatic blend of spices originating from Jamaican cuisine. It typically includes allspice, thyme, Scotch bonnet peppers, cinnamon, nutmeg, garlic, and ginger, delivering a balance of heat, sweetness, and warmth. When used with Beyond Meat for a meatloaf, jerk seasoning infuses the plant-based protein with rich, complex flavors reminiscent of Caribbean barbecue. The seasoning enhances the texture and taste, creating a savory, spicy, and satisfying meatloaf alternative that captures the essence of soul food with a vegan twist.
