Green or underripe jackfruit has a neutral flavor and the texture of shredded cooked chicken, making it perfect for absorbing just about any flavor or sauce. This smoky jackfruit recipe is incredibly easy to make, and great for preparing ahead of time and enjoying throughout the week in Mexican-inspired dishes and beyond. Let me show you how it’s done! This recipe requires 30 minutes to make, starting with the marinade. Once your jackfruit is rinsed and shredded, blend together sautéed onion and garlic, vegetable broth, dairy-free milk, chipotle pepper, maple syrup, lime, salt, coconut aminos, and smoked paprika. The result is a thin but semi-creamy sauce that’s smoky, tangy, salty, and sweet. You can marinate your jackfruit for as long as five days. But if you’re looking to use it sooner, at least 15-20 minutes is recommended. Then it’s perfect for sautéing until golden brown and hot! We hope you LOVE this jackfruit!
