2 cups canned young jackfruit
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
½ cup plant-based milk
1 cup breadcrumbs
½ cup barbecue sauce
Directions
1.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
2.
Drain and rinse the jackfruit thoroughly ensuring no brine remains, then pat dry with a paper towel.
3.
In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper, whisking evenly.
4.
Gradually add the plant-based milk into the dry mixture while stirring until a smooth batter forms.
5.
Dip each piece of jackfruit into the batter, ensuring an even coat, then roll in breadcrumbs for a crisp texture.
6.
Place the coated jackfruit wings on the prepared baking sheet evenly spaced to ensure even cooking.
7.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, flip the wings, and bake for an additional 10 minutes.
8.
Brush each wing generously with barbecue sauce and bake for another 5 minutes to achieve a caramelized glaze.
9.
Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly before serving with your favorite dip or additional barbecue sauce.
