Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 piece Pre-made vegan pizza crust
- 1 can (14 oz) Canned young green jackfruit in water
- 0.5 cup Vegan barbecue sauce
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 cup Red onion, thinly sliced
- 1 cup Vegan mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro, chopped
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat as well.
Drain the can of jackfruit and rinse thoroughly. Using your hands or a fork, shred the jackfruit into smaller pieces resembling pulled chicken.
In a medium pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the jackfruit and season with salt and black pepper.
Cook the jackfruit for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until it starts to brown slightly.
Pour the vegan barbecue sauce into the pan with the jackfruit and mix well. Reduce heat and simmer for another 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
While the jackfruit is simmering, lay out your pre-made vegan pizza crust on a baking sheet or hot pizza stone.
Spread a thin layer of vegan barbecue sauce over the pizza crust, leaving a small border for the crust edge.
Evenly distribute the cooked BBQ jackfruit over the crust. Top with sliced red onions and shredded vegan mozzarella cheese.
Place the pizza in the oven and bake for about 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and the crust is golden brown.
Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool slightly before sprinkling fresh chopped cilantro on top.
Slice the pizza into desired portions and serve warm.
