These BBQ Jackfruit Stuffed Peppers are a showstopper! Packed with smoky flavor and satisfying texture, this recipe is surprisingly easy to make. They’re vegan, naturally gluten-free, and perfect for a weeknight meal or a casual get-together with friends. One time I made these for a potluck, and they were gone in minutes. Everyone was asking for the recipe!
What makes this recipe stand out is the delicious combination of sweet and smoky BBQ jackfruit, perfectly balanced with the earthy sweetness of the bell peppers. I love how the jackfruit mimics the texture of pulled pork, making it a great meat-alternative for those who are looking for something different. I tried it with a different kind of sauce once, and it wasn't quite as good. Trust me on the BBQ sauce!

🍽 Ingredients
📖 Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Don't skip this step; a preheated oven is key to perfectly baked peppers!
- Wash and halve your bell peppers. Carefully remove the stems, seeds, and membranes—those things can be a bit annoying. (My friend Jen learned this the hard way after biting into a hidden seed…ouch!)
- In a large bowl, combine the cooked jackfruit (remember to drain it well!), BBQ sauce, onion, garlic, cumin, chili powder, and salt. Mix it all up until you've got a homogenous, delicious mixture.
- Lightly grease a baking sheet. This step prevents sticking, which is never fun, especially when dealing with delicious messy food.
- Stuff those halved peppers generously with the jackfruit mixture. Don't be shy! Pile it high and make 'em happy.
- Bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until the peppers are tender and the filling is bubbly and slightly browned. You'll know they're ready when you can easily pierce them with a fork.
- Let them cool slightly before serving. This helps to avoid any accidental burns. Trust me, I've been there!
📝 Notes
- Feel free to adjust the spices to your liking. A little extra heat never hurt nobody!
- For a richer flavor, try adding a tablespoon of olive oil to the jackfruit mixture before stuffing the peppers.
- If you like things a bit spicier, add a pinch of cayenne pepper!
