This BBQ Jackfruit recipe is the vegan barbecue dish you’ve been looking for. Green jackfruit is often referred to as the vegetarian’s meat. It is the fruit of a tree native to South Asia and Southeast Asia. When green jackfruit cooks and softens, it begins to pull apart, taking on an appearance similar to pulled pork. The hardest part of this recipe is finding canned green jackfruit (available in most Asian markets). You can occasionally find fresh green jackfruit, but it’s extremely messy, sticky, and difficult to cut. However, once you find out, get ready for an ultra delicious meal. This BBQ Jackfruit recipe is phenomenal!

Notes

Make this recipe your own with whatever barbecue sauce you decide to use. It’s really up to you, since there are so many barbecue flavors available. Be sure to choose sauces with no added oils and a low sodium content. This recipe gets better the longer you cook it. The jackfruit falls apart like tender pulled pork and absorbs flavor perfectly. In fact, we like it better as leftovers! Serve this recipe on a whole wheat bun and top with coleslaw. This goes perfectly with baked sweet potato fries!
