Vegan BBQ Jackfruit Sandwiches

Ingredients

• 2 cans (20 oz each) young green jackfruit
• 1 cup BBQ sauce
• 4 pieces buns
• 2 cups, shredded cabbage
• 1 cup, shredded carrots
• 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
• 1 4 oz vegan mayo
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika

Instructions

1. 1

   Drain and rinse the jackfruit under cold water. Remove the core and seeds, and shred the jackfruit pieces with your hands or a fork until they resemble pulled meat.

2. 2

   In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the shredded jackfruit, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika. Sauté for about 5 minutes until the jackfruit is lightly browned.

3. 3

   Pour in the BBQ sauce, stirring to coat the jackfruit evenly. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.

4. 4

   While the jackfruit simmers, prepare the coleslaw. In a large bowl, combine the shredded cabbage, shredded carrots, apple cider vinegar, and vegan mayo. Mix well until the vegetables are evenly coated. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

5. 5

   After 20 minutes, remove the jackfruit from heat. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.

6. 6

   To assemble the sandwiches, place a generous portion of the BBQ jackfruit on each bun, followed by a scoop of coleslaw on top.
