Instructions

Drain and rinse the young jackfruit thoroughly under cold water, then use your hands to shred it into pulled-like textures, discarding the seeds and tough core pieces.

In a large skillet over medium heat, add olive oil and sauté the chopped onion until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.

Add the shredded jackfruit to the skillet along with smoked paprika, ground cumin, and black pepper. Stir well to combine and cook for about 5 minutes, allowing the spices to coat the jackfruit evenly.

Pour in the BBQ sauce and mix well. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for about 25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the jackfruit is tender and absorbs the flavors of the sauce.

While the jackfruit is simmering, lightly toast the whole wheat burger buns. Once the jackfruit mixture is ready, serve it piled high on the buns and top with coleslaw if desired. Enjoy!

💡 Chef's Tip

For extra flavor, let the jackfruit marinate in the BBQ sauce for an hour before cooking, or even overnight if you have the time!
