Ingredients

  • 14 ounces green jackfruit 14 oz usually = 1 can
  • ½ large yellow onion
  • ¼ cup whole wheat or all-purpose flour
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon liquid smoke
  • ½ teaspoon hot sauce
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper

  • Drain and rinse the can of jackfruit and then pat it dry with a clean kitchen towel.
    14 ounces green jackfruit
  • Add all ingredients to a food processor and blend on high until the garlic and onion breaks down—about 30-seconds to 1 minute.
    ½ large yellow onion, ¼ cup whole wheat or all-purpose flour, 3 cloves garlic, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 teaspoon liquid smoke, ½ teaspoon hot sauce, ½ teaspoon onion powder, ½ teaspoon paprika, ½ teaspoon black pepper, ½ teaspoon salt
  • Use clean hands or a cookie cutter or pancake mold to shape your mixture into patties and lay them out on your lined baking sheet.
  • Bake for 30 minutes.
  • Serve immediately with your favorite burger toppings and sides or save for later and reheat in the oven or the grill.

Notes

  • Make sure the boiled jackfruit has a chance to dry before adding it to the food processor with the rest of your ingredients. Adding it when it's too wet may result in a sloppy burger!
  • If you're not a fan of spice, simply omit the hot sauce. And if you're a big fan of spice, add a little extra!
  • You can use either canned or fresh jackfruit.
