  6. Use a spatula to mash and divide the jackfruit until it looks similar in appearance to pulled pork.
  7. Transfer and spread the jackfruit onto a baking sheet and cook in the oven for 20 minutes.
  8. Remove from oven and evenly coat the jackfruit with the BBQ sauce.
  9. Return the jackfruit to the oven and cook for another 10-15 minutes or until the jackfruit is lightly browned.
