I recently participated in a wellness event where I had the pleasure of showcasing some of my plant-based treats, chatting with people about plant-based food, my nutrition counseling, and just general holistic living. It was a lovely evening surrounded by some extraordinary and beautiful people. The food was, needless to say, a hit! I served “chickpea tuna salad” [1] with crackers, carrot cake, and these BBQ jackfruit sliders.
When I was planning what food to bring, jackfruit bbq immediately popping in my mind. However, my first notion was to put them on crackers, then I thought “how can I make these even more exciting?” Put them on baked sweet potatoes, that’s how!
This recipe is perfect for dinner or a dinner party! Really any celebration! They add a beautiful pop of color to any food spread. They’ll also appease any and all tastes buds, omnivore and herbivores alike!
Simply slow simmer the jackfruit per my instructions [2] then place on top of your roasted sweet potatoes. Garnish with purple cabbage, scallions and voila! A beautiful dish that everyone will be raving about!
