Ingredients

  • 1 bottle oil-free BBQ sauce or homemade

  • 2 large onion chopped
  • 4-6 cloves garlic minced

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

  2. Drain and rinse the jackfruit.

  3. Heat large non-stick skillet and add onion, sauteing until softened. 

  4. Add minced garlic and drained, rinsed jackfruit to skillet and cook on medium heat for 10 minutes. Stir occasionally, breaking up the jackfruit as it softens.
