Wondering how to use jackfruit to make the most delicious BBQ Jackfruit Sliders and learn why this food is so trendy?? It's all about the texture and flavor of this vegetarian dish!
Drain canned jackfruit completely. Place pieces in bottom of slow cooker. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and garlic. Top with bbq sauce.
Cover and cook on low for about 5 hours.
SHRED with two forks, the smaller the pieces the better.
Serve on sweet hawaiian rolls (or buns) and add a big spoonful of cole slaw, if desired (my favorite cole slaw recipe).
Notes
Slow cooker recipe – I cooked the jack fruit in the bottom of a slow cooker for 5 hours with sauce. The long cooking time gives the jackfruit the opportunity to become super tender and absorb the flavors of the sauce.
Barbecue sauce – The sauce is where most of the flavor in these jackfruit sliders comes from so use one you love! It can be store bought or homemade.
Serving – Sweet Hawaiian rolls were our choice for making BBQ jackfruit sliders! We added a big scoop of coleslawto make the barbecue theme complete.
