Ingredients
Method
- Prep the Jackfruit: Drain and shred the jackfruit with a fork until it resembles pulled meat.
- Season It: Toss with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Let sit for 10 minutes to absorb flavor.
- Sear the “Pork”: Heat your skillet on medium-high. Add seasoned jackfruit and cook for 5–7 minutes until slightly crisp and browned.
- Make the Sauce: In a bowl, whisk tomato sauce, maple syrup, soy sauce, vinegar, mustard, garlic, paprika, and chili flakes.
- Simmer the Magic: Pour the BBQ sauce into the skillet. Stir well, coating every strand of jackfruit in smoky perfection.
- Bake or Grill: Transfer to the oven (optional) and bake at 375°F for 10 minutes for caramelized edges.
- Serve & Slay: Plate with lemon wedges and sprinkle parsley. Pair with coleslaw, cornbread, or a chilled mocktail.
