Jump to Recipe

Snacking just got better with these Spicy Breaded Jackfruit Bites! Jackfruit is dipped in a flavorful batter, rolled in spices and hemp seeds and baked to crisp. Serve this with a favorite cooling dipping sauce.

I often make these with breadcrumbs for a crispier result. Use panko breadcrumbs or coarsely ground nuts for variation. The recipe is easily doubled (which is a great idea to double, because you will want all of it!).

Unripe Jackfruit is used as a vegetable in many asian dishes. It has become popular as a meat substitute in other cuisines. In this recipe, I use the spices and batter that would make a fried chikin nugget kind of result with the jackfruit slices. Try these snack bites with Jackfruit, chikin subs or other veggies.

These bites are crunchy and amazing with breadcrumbs. Adjust seasoning and heat to taste, or use other spices and herbs for variation. If you make these, do let me know in the comments.
