Vegan BBQ Pulled Jackfruit with Pickles Recipe
You tear into jackfruit like a Southern BBQ rebel with a meat-free mission and a jar of pickles that means business.
You smother it in smoky sauce, pile it high on buns, and cackle like a queen who fooled every carnivore at the table.
You skip pulled pork and still bring the bold flavor, juicy texture, and that tangy crunch that makes your ex’s brisket look boring.
You cook this in under 30 minutes and somehow look effortlessly cool doing it—with zero animals harmed and maximum taste delivered.
You top it with pickles, maybe coleslaw, and proudly serve sass with every bite.
Vegan BBQ Pulled Jackfruit with Pickles Recipe
Smoky, sweet BBQ jackfruit pulls apart like a dream, served with tangy pickles in a no-fuss sandwich your taste buds will love.
Ingredients
Method
- Prep jackfruit: Drain and rinse jackfruit. Cut off hard cores. Shred pieces lightly using fingers or forks.
- Sauté base: Heat oil in a skillet. Add onion and garlic. Sauté 3 minutes until soft and smelling amazing.
- Spice it: Stir in paprika, chili powder, cumin, and salt. Add jackfruit and cook 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Simmer magic: Pour in BBQ sauce and water. Cover. Simmer 10–12 minutes, until jackfruit softens and sauce thickens.
- Shred it real good: Use forks to pull jackfruit apart in the skillet. Cook uncovered 3 more minutes.
- Serve: Pile jackfruit onto buns. Add pickle slices like a diva. Serve hot and messy—with napkins and attitude.
