- 1 teaspoon chilli powder or more
- 1.5 tablespoon paprika powder sweet
- ¾ teaspoon cumin ground
- ½ tsp. Black pepper ground
- 2 cups 500 ml BBQ sauce
Roasted onion
- 2 large onions
- 10 tablespoons of flour
- Sea Salt
Cole Slaw
- 10.5 oz 300 g of white cabbage in fine strips
- 3.5 oz 100 g red cabbage in fine strips
- 1.7 oz 50 g of carrots, grated

- 2.6 75 g cashews
- ½ cup 120 ml of water

Instructions
- Prepare the Jackfruit: Drain, rinse, and shred jackfruit to resemble pulled pork; discard seeds.
- Season the Jackfruit: Mix shredded jackfruit with onion, garlic, chili powder, cumin, black pepper, salt, BBQ sauce, and maple syrup.
- Bake the Jackfruit: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Spread jackfruit on a parchment-lined baking sheet; bake 25-30 mins, stirring halfway, until crispy and caramelized.
- Caramelize the Onions: Cook sliced onion in a skillet with water over medium heat until golden brown, stirring frequently.
- Prepare the Coleslaw: Mix white cabbage, red cabbage, carrots, and red onion with cashew cream and white wine vinegar.
- Assemble the Sandwich: Toast whole wheat buns if desired; place baked jackfruit on the bottom bun.
- Add the Toppings: Top with caramelized onions, creamy coleslaw, and sliced pickles.
- Serve and Enjoy: Place top bun over fillings and serve immediately.
Notes
- Use canned young green jackfruit in water or brine, not syrup, for the best texture.
- Shred the jackfruit with a fork before cooking to mimic pulled pork.
- If you don't have cashew cream for the coleslaw, try vegan mayo or plain coconut yogurt as a substitute.
- Add extra BBQ sauce while cooking for a richer flavor.
- Serve on toasted whole wheat buns for a sturdy base, and don't skip the fried onions—they add a satisfying crunch!
- Pair with sweet potato fries or a side salad for a complete meal.
