Ingredients
- 2 (20-ounce) cans young green jackfruit (about 3 cups), in brine or water, not syrup
- 1 medium-size yellow onion, diced
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup BBQ sauce of choice
- 4 vegan whole wheat burger buns
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

- Once dry, slice the jackfruit with a knife until it has a shredded consistency.
- Place the jackfruit in a bowl along with the garlic, onion, and 3/4 cup of the barbecue sauce. Mix until well combined.
- Spread the jackfruit on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 35 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and brush with the remaining 1/4 cup of barbecue sauce. Bake for an additional ten minutes, or until slightly crisped.
- Serve in a bun with your desired burger toppings, or as a taco filling.
