Instructions
- 1
Preheat the oven to 400°F (205°C). Drain and rinse the jackfruit thoroughly in a colander, then pat dry with paper towels. Use two forks or your hands to pull apart each piece, shredding the softer flesh and breaking up any large chunks — the texture should resemble pulled meat. Discard any tough core pieces that won't shred.

Whisk together the ketchup, apple cider vinegar, maple syrup, vegan Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and cayenne in a small bowl until smooth. Set aside.
