💡 Pro Tips

For an extra crispy texture, press the jackfruit between two plates for a few minutes before grilling. To make the roasted vegetables, toss them with 1 tablespoon of Olive Oil, Salt, and Pepper, and roast in the oven at 400°F (200°C) for 20-25 minutes. To make guacamole, mash 2 ripe avocados with 1 lime, 1/2 teaspoon of Salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of Pepper.
