HAWAIIAN PINEAPPLE JACKFRUIT WITH SWEET POTATO NACHOS

Vegan Gluten Free Hawaiian Pineapple Jackfruit Sweet Potato Nachos

Try this quick and simple vegan and gluten-free BBQ Jackfruit nachos recipe. The fruit is a species of tree in the fig, mulberry, and breadfruit family. It is grown in parts of India, southeast Asia, the East Indies, the Philippines, Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia and also grows in Africa. 

Ripe jackfruit is naturally sweet, with subtle flavoring.

The young (unripe) fruit is gaining popularity as a plant base meat substitute because of its meat-like texture and ability to soak up flavors well. Its a great substitute for chicken and pork.

First we started with lightly sauteing the pineapple, red onion and peppers to bring out the sweetness.  Combining the bbq jackfruit and the aromatics really reminded us of the goodness of a savory and hearty vegan Shish kebab. Lastly adding the sweet potato nacho chips added another layer to the sweet and salty experience of the dish. Happy to have a quick and easy non-soy nacho option for our friends with allergies.
