Tips and Notes

  • Jackfruit: Use young green jackfruit packed in water or brine for the best texture. Rinse and drain thoroughly before cooking to remove any excess salt.
  • Cooking Method: Sauté the jackfruit with onions and garlic before adding your favorite BBQ sauce. Simmer for about 20 minutes until the jackfruit is tender and easy to shred.
  • Buns: Use soft slider buns or mini brioche buns for a delightful bite-sized treat. Toast the buns lightly for extra flavor.
  • Toppings: Customize your sliders with toppings like pickles, avocado, or jalapeños for added flavor and texture.
  • Storage: Store any leftover jackfruit in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave before serving.

Enjoy the flavorful and fun BBQ Jackfruit Sliders as a delightful addition to your meal or gathering!
