Prep time: 15 minutes
Cook time: 20 minutes
Serves: 12

Ingredients

2 cans young green jackfruit in brine, drained and rinsed

1 cup BBQ sauce

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon garlic powder

Salt and pepper to taste

12 mini slider buns

2 cups coleslaw mix

1/4 cup vegan mayonnaise

1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

1 tablespoon maple syrup

Instructions

1. Prepare the jackfruit by rinsing and draining thoroughly. Use your fingers to shred the jackfruit into a pulled meat texture.

2. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add shredded jackfruit, smoked paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until the jackfruit begins to brown.

3. Stir in the BBQ sauce, reduce heat to low, and let simmer for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the jackfruit is tender and fully coated in the sauce.

4. In a bowl, combine coleslaw mix, vegan mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, and maple syrup. Toss until the coleslaw is evenly coated.

5. Assemble the sliders by spooning the BBQ jackfruit onto the bottom half of each bun, topping with coleslaw, and finishing with the top half of the bun.

6. Serve immediately and enjoy your plant-based BBQ delight!

Storage

Store leftover sliders in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Store coleslaw separately to maintain texture.

Reheating

Reheat the jackfruit in a skillet over medium heat until warmed through, about 5 minutes. Toast buns briefly in a toaster or oven if desired.
