Tip on how to serve the One Pan BBQ Sage jackfruit; on a bun!
Jackfruit
For these types of savoury recipes, make sure you buy young jackfruit in water. I have made the mistake before of buying in syrup and that will not work. Here’s a reference of what you’re looking for: young green jackfruit tin. They now sell jackfruit at loads of supermarkets, otherwise have a look in the Asian shop. I buy mine there for €1.45 a tin.
A few small steps need to be taken before we can prepare the jackfruit. First, let’s drain and rinse. Then, cutting out the harder ends of the bits of jackfruit that have a triangle shape. You’ll know what I mean when you get your hands on it. The jackfruit is cut in triangle shapes. The part of those triangles that’s easy to pull apart, and softer to the touch, those we’ll cook and eat. The ends, the smaller triangles, we’ll cut those off. You can still eat those or cook them along, just make sure you chop them finely. Or blitz in the food processor.

Second, with your hands or a fork or potato masher, get the bits of jackfruit loosened and press out some of the water. I like to do this in a colander.
The extra added flavour: sage!
Now, it’s ready to get onto the baking tray. Let’s chop up an onion and some garlic as well.
Getting that BBQ Flavour
Of course, you could just get barbecue sauce and use that. By all means, please do so! But if you know me, you know I like to make things from scratch. And no worries, we won’t be making sauce. We’ll make a marinade that will evoke that BBQ flavour.
Ready to serve.
Paprika, liquid smoke, granulated garlic, olive oil, some sugar, and fresh sage. That’s how we’ll get that delicious, smokey sweet sticky taste. Then, all that’s left is leaving it to roast in the oven. Easy right?
Pair with some coleslaw and a pickle.
I recommend serving the one pan BBQ-sage jackfruit on a bun with some slaw and a pickle for the ultimate experience. Also delicious with my aioli. But do let me know how you enjoy it!
