    30 minutes to 1 hour

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 200°C/Fan 180°C/Gas 6.
  2. Rinse and drain the jackfruit and put into a bowl. Use a fork to shred the pieces into strings. Add the jerk barbecue marinade and stir to coat.
  3. Cover a baking tray with foil and brush with a little vegetable oil. Transfer the jackfruit on to the baking tray in a single layer and bake for 15–20 minutes, until the jackfruit has crisped up at the edges and is hot through.
  4. Meanwhile, put the onion, cabbage and carrot in a bowl and mix with enough vegan mayonnaise to make a coleslaw. Season with salt and pepper.
  5. Build your burgers with the slaw and barbecue jerk jackfruit and serve.

Notes

This might make a bit more coleslaw than needed in your burgers so you can eat it as a side or save for later in the fridge.
