Instructions
- 1
Drain and rinse the jackfruit thoroughly, then squeeze out excess water and use two forks or your hands to pull each piece apart into shreds, discarding any tough seed cores you find.
- 2
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat, add the sliced onion, and cook for 5 to 6 minutes until softened and lightly golden, stirring occasionally.
- 3
Add the shredded jackfruit and smoked paprika, stirring to coat, and cook for 5 minutes so the edges begin to caramelize and the spice blooms.
- 4
Pour in the barbecue sauce along with 1/4 cup water, reduce the heat to low, and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes until the jackfruit is fork-tender and the sauce clings thickly, mashing lightly with a spatula to deepen the shredded texture.
- 5
Toast the buns cut-side down for about 1 minute, then mound the warm jackfruit onto each bottom bun, drizzle with extra barbecue sauce, and cap with the top bun before serving.
