Ingredients

• 1 pre-made or homemade crust Vegan pizza dough
• 1 can (approximately 410 grams) Canned young green jackfruit
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 0.5 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 0.5 medium, sliced Red onion
• 125 grams, halved Cherry tomatoes
• 100 grams, shredded Vegan mozzarella
• 2 tablespoons Capers
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 10 leaves Fresh basil leaves

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 230°C (450°F).

Step 2

Drain and rinse the canned jackfruit, then pat it dry with paper towels. Use your hands or a fork to shred the jackfruit into pieces resembling tuna chunks.

Step 3

In a skillet over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Once heated, add the shredded jackfruit, soy sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Sauté for about 5 to 7 minutes until the jackfruit starts to brown and absorbs the spices.

Step 4

Roll out your vegan pizza dough onto a lightly greased baking sheet or pizza stone.

Step 5

Brush the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the surface of the dough.

Step 6

Evenly spread the sautéed jackfruit over the dough.

Step 7

Top with sliced red onion, halved cherry tomatoes, and capers.

Step 8

Sprinkle the shredded vegan mozzarella over the pizza.

Step 9

Transfer to the oven and bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Garnish with fresh basil leaves before slicing and serving.
