Pulled BBQ Jackfruit Sandwich
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 2 cans of young green jackfruit in brine, drained and rinsed
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup BBQ sauce
- 1/2 cup vegetable broth
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 4 hamburger buns
- Coleslaw (optional, for serving)
Instructions
- Using your hands or a fork, shred the jackfruit into small pieces, discarding any tough core pieces.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and garlic, and sauté until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the shredded jackfruit to the skillet and cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- In a small bowl, mix together the BBQ sauce, vegetable broth, smoked paprika, cumin, and chili powder. Pour the mixture over the jackfruit in the skillet and stir to combine.
- Reduce the heat to low and let the jackfruit simmer in the BBQ sauce for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add salt and pepper to taste.
- While the jackfruit is simmering, lightly toast the hamburger buns in a toaster or on a skillet.
- Once the jackfruit is tender and the sauce has thickened, remove from heat.
- Assemble the sandwiches by placing a generous amount of the BBQ jackfruit mixture on the bottom half of each bun. Top with coleslaw if desired, and cover with the top half of the bun.
- Serve the pulled BBQ jackfruit sandwiches immediately and enjoy!
The Pulled BBQ Jackfruit Sandwich has a fascinating history, originating as a vegan alternative to traditional pulled pork.

The result was a mouthwatering sandwich filled with tender, smoky, and tangy jackfruit, slathered in rich BBQ sauce. Today, the best versions of this dish can be found in vegan and BBQ restaurants across the country.
