BBQ Jackfruit Sandwiches
Burcu Avsar and Zach DeSart
PUBLISHED December 15, 2024
Simmered, then roasted, canned jackfruit tossed with barbecue sauce tastes remarkably like pulled pork. The two steps are key for the best flavor. Simmering softens the jackfruit, allowing you to break it into shreds. Roasting it with barbecue sauce results in caramelization that makes the jackfruit taste like it’s come off the grill. Do not prepare this using jackfruit packed in syrup; if you do, you’ll have a super-sweet, sticky mess. If you like, top your sandwich with a little coleslaw.
