Heat the olive oil in a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the jackfruit in a single layer and cook, undisturbed, for 4–5 minutes until the edges are golden and slightly caramelized, then stir and cook for 2 minutes more. Transfer the jackfruit to a plate and set aside.
