Instructions

  1. Drain the jackfruit, then squeeze it in a thick kitchen towel to remove as much liquid as possible.
  2. Shred the jackfruit by hand or with a knife until mostly pulled apart, and remove any hard seeds.
  3. Put the jackfruit in a large bowl with the sliced onion, garlic, ginger, bbq seasoning, sugar or maple syrup mixture, and salt, and mix well.
  4. Add 1/2 to 2/3 cup bbq sauce and mix. If it is too thick, stir in 2 tbsp veggie broth.
  5. Spread the mixture in a parchment-lined large baking dish and bake at 400°F for 30 minutes.
  6. Press the larger pieces with a spatula, then taste and adjust salt, sweetness and heat, and stir the jackfruit around.
  7. Spread it out again and bake another 15 to 25 minutes, until it reaches your preferred dryness and some edges are caramelized and crispy.
  8. Make the slaw: mix the slaw mix with the mayo, vinegar, maple syrup, salt and pepper, taste and adjust, then chill for 15 minutes.
  9. Mix 2 to 4 tbsp bbq sauce into the baked jackfruit, then assemble sandwiches with jackfruit, extra bbq sauce and slaw.
