Instructions

Pre-heat the oven to 400 degrees F.

In an extra large skillet or stockpot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add in the onion and saute for 5 minutes. Add in the garlic and cook for one additional minute. Add in the jackfruit and cook over medium for one more minute.

Now add in the red wine, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, rosemary, salt and pepper. Stir and bring to a gentle simmer.

In a measuring cup/ bowl, whisk together the broth and cornstarch until fully combined and then mix into the skillet with the jackfruit. Bring to a simmer and let cook for 5 minutes, stirring often.

Pour the jackfruit mixture over top of the carrots and potatoes and bake for 40 minutes or until the veggies are fork tender and ready to eat. Let cool slightly and enjoy!

For a prettier presentation like in my photos: remove as much of the jackfruit as possible to a separate plate. Spoon the veggies onto a serving tray and then top with the jackfruit in the middle. You can pour any remaining sauce over the top or serve it on the side as a gravy. YUM!

Tips & Tricks (5)

Shred Your Jackfruit Properly 🔪
Remove the core and seeds from young jackfruit, then hand-shred along the natural lines to create tender, fibrous strands that mimic pulled meat and absorb the braising liquid beautifully.
Build Umami Depth with Searing 🔥
Coat your shredded jackfruit in cornstarch and sear it in olive oil before braising to develop a caramelized crust that adds savory complexity and richness to the final dish.
Balance Wine and Worcestershire Ratio 🍷
Use vegan Worcestershire sauce and dry red wine at a 1:2 ratio to create an authentic pot roast flavor without overpowering the jackfruit's delicate texture with too much acidity.
Thicken at the Perfect Moment 🥣
Whisk cornstarch with cold broth to create a slurry and add it in the last 10 minutes of cooking—this prevents lumps and gives you time to adjust consistency while keeping vegetables tender.
Infuse Aromatics Early for Maximum Flavor 🧄
Sauté your diced garlic and onions until deeply caramelized before adding jackfruit to build a flavor foundation that carries throughout the entire pot roast.
