recipe<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Texture and Flavor:<\/strong> Jack-fruit makes for a great pulled &#8220;pork&#8221; type texture. If you haven&#8217;t cooked with it before, trust us it is easy. Especially since they come in cans, which makes for a fairly quick meal. Its flavor is mild, allowing the seasonings to do the work and give these carnitas their flair.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Easy:<\/strong> Just squeeze out the brine from the jackfruit using a clean kitchen towel. This process also helps break down the jackfruit chunks into more shredded pieces. Then season and bake! No chopping needed!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/somevegancouple.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/b1834484-75f9-4c2e-929c-845a980a36eb-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"overhead image of two opened cans of jackfruit, a sliced orange, soy sauce and spices on a marble top\" class=\"wp-image-59479\" srcset=\"https:\/\/somevegancouple.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/b1834484-75f9-4c2e-929c-845a980a36eb-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/somevegancouple.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/b1834484-75f9-4c2e-929c-845a980a36eb-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/somevegancouple.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/b1834484-75f9-4c2e-929c-845a980a36eb-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/somevegancouple.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/b1834484-75f9-4c2e-929c-845a980a36eb-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/somevegancouple.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/b1834484-75f9-4c2e-929c-845a980a36eb-1365x2048.jpg 1365w, https:\/\/somevegancouple.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/b1834484-75f9-4c2e-929c-845a980a36eb-300x450.jpg 300w, https:\/\/somevegancouple.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/b1834484-75f9-4c2e-929c-845a980a36eb-600x900.jpg 600w, https:\/\/somevegancouple.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/b1834484-75f9-4c2e-929c-845a980a36eb-900x1350.jpg 900w, https:\/\/somevegancouple.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/b1834484-75f9-4c2e-929c-845a980a36eb-1200x1800.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/somevegancouple.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/b1834484-75f9-4c2e-929c-845a980a36eb-scaled.jpg 1707w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ingredients<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Jackfruit in a can<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Garlic powder<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Onion powder<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cumin powder<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Soy sauce (or Tamari for gluten free)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Orange <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to make jackfruit carnitas<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>1.
