Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cans (20 oz each) Canned young jackfruit
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 cup Buffalo sauce
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Vegan ranch dressing
- 12 pieces Slider buns
- 12 pieces Lettuce leaves
- 12 slices Sliced pickles
Instructions
Drain and rinse the canned jackfruit thoroughly. Pat dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
Use your fingers or a fork to shred the jackfruit into smaller pieces, resembling pulled chicken.
In a large skillet over medium heat, add olive oil. Once heated, add the shredded jackfruit.
Sauté the jackfruit for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it starts to brown slightly.
Add garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Stir well to coat the jackfruit evenly with spices.
Pour the buffalo sauce into the skillet, mixing thoroughly to ensure all jackfruit is coated. Reduce the heat to low and let simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
While the jackfruit cooks, prepare the slider buns by lightly toasting them in a toaster or on another skillet.
Once the jackfruit has absorbed the buffalo sauce and is cooked through, remove from heat.
To assemble the sliders, place a piece of lettuce on the bottom half of each slider bun. Top with a generous spoonful of the buffalo jackfruit mixture.
Add a slice of pickle on top of the jackfruit, then drizzle a small amount of vegan ranch dressing over the top.
Finish by placing the top half of the bun over the filling.
Repeat for all sliders, serve immediately, and enjoy your spicy, plant-based creation!
