The Best Vegan Ribs

These vegan ribs are a showstopper. I made these ribs for one of my closest, pickiest friends. She is someone that will tell you the real, really quickly. Not to my surprise, she absolutely loved these ribs! And for that reason, they are absolutely the meal to bring to any vegan skeptic because they are mind-blowingly flavorful and โ€œmeaty.โ€ I also strongly suggest this recipe to anyone struggling during a vegan transition.

Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375ยฐF (190ยฐC). Line a baking sheet with foil (parchment paper).
  • Add the brown sugar, onion powder, garlic powder, mustard powder, paprika, cayenne and smoked paprika to a small bowl; mix and set aside.
  • Drain and thoroughly rinse the jackfruit. Using your hands, squeeze any excess moisture from the jackfruit, remove the buds and discard. Add the jackfruit to a large bowl along withย the vegan ground beef, onions, vegan Worcestershire, liquid smoke and the spice mixture. Using a wooden spoon, mix until well incorporated, then add to the foil-lined baking sheet andย shape into a large rectangle. Using a butter knife, create four to five lines in the mixture, only slicing one quarter of the way through the mixture to create your rib shape.
  • Bake, uncovered, for 1 hour and 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and spread the BBQ sauce over the ribs. Return the pan to the oven and bake for another 20 minutes. Fully cut through theย ribs along the lines you made in the mixture. Separate into ribs and serve.
