How do I prepare the jackfruit for pulling?

First, drain the young green jackfruit from the cans and pull apart the slices. Then, heat oil in a skillet, stir in the jackfruit with smoked paprika, habanero sauce, and salt, before adding BBQ sauce to simmer and thicken.

What makes the oven-baked potatoes extra crispy?

The potatoes are quartered and shaken in a freezing bag with starch until fully covered. This starch coating, along with oil, salt, and pepper, creates a wonderfully crispy exterior when baked at 425 degreesF.

Can I adjust the spice level of the BBQ pulled jackfruit?

Yes, the recipe includes habanero sauce for flavor and heat. You can adjust the amount to your preference or omit it entirely for a milder BBQ taste.

What type of BBQ sauce should I use for the jackfruit?

The recipe calls for two bottles of BBQ sauce, allowing you to choose your favorite brand and flavor profile, whether smoky, sweet, or tangy, to complement the jackfruit.

How should I store any leftover BBQ pulled jackfruit and potatoes?

Store leftover BBQ pulled jackfruit and the oven-baked potatoes separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Reheat gently to maintain texture.

How to Prepare BBQ Pulled Jackfruit With Oven-Baked Potatoes [Vegan]

For the Jackfruit:

Drain the jackfruit in a sieve and pull apart the slices. Heat oil on medium heat in a large skillet. Stir in jackfruit and add smoked paprika, habanero sauce and salt, stirring to coat and add the BBQ sauce.
Simmer, stirring until sauce thickens, for about 30 minutes. At that point, mash with a potato masher or pull apart carefully with two forks.

For the Potatoes:

Preheat oven to 425°F
Quarter the potatoes lengthwise and put them and the starch in a freezing bag. Shake until every potato is covered in starch. Then add the oil, salt and pepper and shake again to cover the potatoes with the oil.
Pour the potatoes on a baking sheet covered tray and spread them.
Bake for about 15 minutes, then turn them over to the other cut surface and bake for another 15 minutes.
Serve the vegan pulled pork on a plate with the potatoes.

Notes

Boil a pot of water and add 1 teaspoon of salt. Put jackfruit slices in boiling water and simmer about 15-20 minutes. Repeat the process with new water , the metallic/canned taste will disappear.
