Hello friends!
I can’t wait to share this Vegan BBQ jackfruit sandwich with you all. This sandwich is a great alternative to a traditional BBQ pulled pork sandwich. This one has all of the yummy flavors without any of the health ramifications or cruelty. It’s a win-win folks.
You will need some canned jackfruit for this recipe, I get mine at Trader Joe’s. Use canned jackfruit NOT fresh. The fresh fruit is meant to be eaten as such. The canned jackfruit is unripe and shreds like how we want.
Once strained and shredded, add the jackfruit to a pan and saute it until the moisture is cooked out. This should take no longer than 10 minutes.
I made my own homemade plant-based no refined sugar added BBQ sauce but if you are short on time, feel free to get store bought.
Saute the jackfruit with as much or as little BBQ sauce as you’d like. I like mine really saucy so that it’s more flavorful but do what works for you.
Use a whole wheat or gluten-free bun of choice and top with the jackfruit + bbq mixture.
I like to pile my sandwich high!
Top with cabbage slaw for an extra freshness and crunch – DELISH!
I like to spread extra bbq sauce on the top bun to avoid any dryness and to add even more saucy flavor.
…and there you have it! A vegan bbq jackfruit sandwich! It’s easy, delicious, perfect for meat-eaters or someone who wants to transition to being plant-based OR if you are already plant-based but you are in the mood for a good old bbq sandwich.
These are seriously SO freaking yummy, we gobbled them up.
