This recipe has no meat, no dairy and no regrets, only cozy BBQ vibes, melty goodness and big flavor.

Ingredients:

1 can young jackfruit in brine (not syrup), drained and shredded

½ cup BBQ sauce (your fave, ideally low sugar)

½ cup dairy-free cream cheese

½ cup unsweetened plain dairy-free yogurt or sour cream

¼ cup nutritional yeast (adds that cheesy flavor)

½ tsp smoked paprika

½ tsp garlic powder Salt and pepper to taste

Optional: a handful of chopped green onions or cilantro on top

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 375°F.

Sauté the shredded jackfruit in a pan with a little oil until it starts to brown. Add BBQ sauce and cook down for 5–7 minutes.

In a mixing bowl, stir together the cream cheese, yogurt, nutritional yeast and seasonings. Fold in the BBQ jackfruit.

Spread into a baking dish and bake for 20–25 minutes until bubbly and slightly golden on top.

Make it ahead: This dip reheats like a dream. Just bake it at the party or pop it in the microwave in your friend’s kitchen.

Top with green onions or cilantro, if you want, and serve warm with tortilla chips, celery sticks or grilled bread.
