Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 35 minutes
Servings: 4 servings

Ingredients

  • 2 20 oz cans young green jackfruit in water or brine
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon onion powder
  • 1 tablespoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup veggie broth
  • 3/4 cup barbecue sauce

Instructions

  • Drain jackfruit and rinse thoroughly.
  • Add jackfruit, spices and veggie broth to a heavy-bottom skillet and bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until jackfruit has softened and liquid has mostly cooked off.
  • Remove jackfruit from heat and mash with the back of your spoon or potato masher. Stir in barbecue sauce.
  • Optional: If you want your jackfruit slightly firmer and less saucy, preheat oven to 450°F. Spread jackfruit out evenly on a lined baking tray. Bake for 10-15 minutes, stirring midway, until sauce has dried up and caramelized slightly in places.
