Follow these simple steps to create your BBQ Jackfruit Sliders:

1. Prep the Jackfruit: Drain and rinse the jackfruit. Cut off any hard core pieces and shred the remaining fruit with your hands or a fork.

2. Sauté Aromatics: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes, or until softened.

3. Add Garlic: Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.

4. Cook Jackfruit: Add the shredded jackfruit to the skillet. Sprinkle smoked paprika, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Stir well for even seasoning.

5. Combine with BBQ Sauce: Pour in the BBQ sauce, stirring to coat the jackfruit evenly. Lower the heat and let it simmer for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.

6. Toast the Buns: While the jackfruit cooks, lightly toast your slider buns in a separate pan or oven for added texture.

7. Assemble Your Sliders: Once the jackfruit mixture is ready, scoop generous amounts onto the toasted buns.

8. Add Toppings: Top with your favorite condiments such as coleslaw or pickles if desired.

9. Serve Warm: Enjoy your sliders while warm for the best taste!
