Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cans (20 oz total) Canned young jackfruit in water
- 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
- 12 pieces Slider buns
- 0.5 cup Ranch dressing
- 1 cup, shredded Lettuce
- 0.5 cup, shredded Carrots
- 0.5 cup, thinly sliced Celery
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Drain and rinse the canned jackfruit thoroughly. Pat dry with paper towels and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, buffalo sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir until well combined.
Add the jackfruit to the bowl and use your hands or a spoon to coat the jackfruit thoroughly in the buffalo sauce mixture.
Transfer the jackfruit to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spreading it out evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the jackfruit is tender and slightly crisp on the edges.
Remove the jackfruit from the oven and use two forks to shred any larger pieces.
Toast the slider buns in the oven for the last 5 minutes of jackfruit baking, or until they are slightly golden.
To assemble the sliders, place a generous spoonful of the buffalo jackfruit mixture on the bottom half of each slider bun.
Add a drizzle of ranch dressing on top, followed by a pinch of shredded lettuce, carrots, and celery for crunch.
Place the top half of the slider bun over the filling and serve immediately.
