Scale recipe by: ×
2 20-ounce cans young green jackfruit in water (NOT in syrup or brine)
2 Tbsp brown sugar
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1/2 tsp chili powder
3/4 cup vegan BBQ sauce
Rinse, drain, and thoroughly dry jackfruit. Chop any of the center “core” portion of the fruit. Place in a mixing bowl and set aside.
Mix together BBQ seasoning and add to jackfruit. Toss to coat.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add 1-2 Tbsp oil of choice and seasoned jackfruit. Toss to coat and cook for 2-3 minutes to achieve some color.
Add BBQ sauce and thin with enough water to make a sauce. Stir and reduce heat to low- medium and cook for about 20 minutes (up to 35 minutes on low for a deeper flavor).
Remove lid and stir occasionally.
Once the jackfruit has been properly simmered, turn up heat to medium-high and cook for 2-3 more minutes to get a little extra color/texture.

This is really so-so and not very interesting, but hey, it's vegan.
