Prep time: 10 minutes
Cook time: 20 minutes
Serves: 4

Ingredients

2 cans young green jackfruit in brine (20 oz each)

1 cup BBQ sauce

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon onion powder

1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)

Salt and pepper to taste

4 hamburger buns

1 cup coleslaw mix

1/4 cup vegan mayonnaise

1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

1 teaspoon sugar

Instructions

1. Drain and rinse the jackfruit. Using your hands or a fork, shred the jackfruit into pieces that resemble pulled pork.

3. Stir in the smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper (if using), salt, and pepper. Cook for another 2 minutes.

4. Pour in the BBQ sauce and stir well to combine. Reduce heat to low and let simmer for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.

5. While the jackfruit is cooking, prepare the coleslaw. In a bowl, mix the coleslaw mix with vegan mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, and sugar. Set aside.

6. Toast the hamburger buns if desired.

7. Assemble the sandwich by placing a generous amount of pulled BBQ jackfruit onto the bottom half of each bun. Top with coleslaw and close with the bun tops.

8. Serve immediately and enjoy!
