Jalapeño Cornbread Recipe

Cook Time: Approximately 25-35 Minutes

Although this cornbread recipe doesn’t exactly qualify as fresh veggies, it’s still a great vegetarian side dish option! One of the pros of having a MAK grill is you have the ability to make baked goods. Unlike baking dishes in an oven, you’ll get that smokey flavor you know and love with equal to less effort.

Cornbread is one of those dishes that dances on the line between sweet and savory. We’ve decided to put our own unique twist on it, pushing it further towards the savory side of the scale. We hope you enjoy our Jalapeño Cornbread Recipe!
