Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 20- ounce can young green jackfruit in brine or water
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Pinch of Cayenne pepper
  • 2 teaspoons Bragg's liquid aminos
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil (I used avocado)
  • 1 small onion chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/2 cup vegetable broth
  • 1/2 cup barbecue sauce or store bought
  • Vegan Coleslaw or store bought
  • Slider Buns (I used Julia's Eat Gluten-Free. Vegan Rolls)

Instructions

  • Drain the jackfruit and rinse, chop jackfruit into smaller pieces and place in a bowl.
  • Toss jackfruit pieces with onion powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, and Bragg's Liquid Aminos and set aside for 15 minutes while you prepare the vegetables and coleslaw (see notes).
  • In a large skillet, heat oil on medium heat, add onion and cook for 3 minutes. Add garlic and stir until fragrant, about a minute.
  • Stir in seasoned jackfruit, add vegetable broth and barbecue sauce. Cover and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Warm up slider buns or rolls, and cut into halves. Layer the bottom half with BBQ jackfruit, then add coleslaw. Place the other halves on top.
