1

Prepare the rib substitute

In a large mixing bowl, combine cooked and shredded jackfruit, wheat gluten, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, smoked paprika, onion powder, liquid smoke, soy sauce, and vegetable broth. Mix well until the ingredients come together to form a dough-like consistency.

2

Shape and bake the ribs

Take portions of the dough and shape them into rib-shaped patties. Place the patties on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C), then bake the ribs for 20 minutes. This will give them a nice chewy texture.

3

Prepare the BBQ sauce

While the ribs are baking, let's whip up the finger-licking BBQ sauce. In a blender, combine tomato sauce, maple syrup, apple cider vinegar, molasses, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, liquid smoke, and a pinch of salt. Blend until smooth and set aside.

4

Grill the ribs

Once the ribs have finished baking, brush them generously with the prepared BBQ sauce. Fire up your grill to medium heat and grill the ribs for about 5 minutes on each side, or until they develop those beautiful grill marks.

5

Serve and enjoy!

Remove the ribs from the grill and serve them hot with extra BBQ sauce for dipping. Pair them with some coleslaw, cornbread, or your favorite sides. Get ready to delight in some seriously heavenly vegan BBQ ribs!
