Jackfruit is a very useful vegan alternative to meat. It’s a versatile fruit that absorbs flavors well, making it ideal for savory dishes. You can buy it either in cans or vacuum packed. In this Warming Jerk Jackfruit with Pineapple, Corn, Peppers and Sweet Potato by Claire Swift and Sarah Biagetti, we have lightly coated the jackfruit with a little bit of delicious jerk spice and balanced the flavors with roasted pineapple, sweet potato wedges, corn on the cob and peppers. This sheet pan meal is a vibrant array of color and flavor. You can serve it straight from the tray, though our kids also like to load the pineapple, jerk jackfruit and peppers into tacos with fresh crispy lettuce, rice and black beans, eating the cobs and the wedges on the side.

Vegetable bajji, colloquially known as Indian Tempura, are just thin slices of vegetables dipped in a crisp batter and deep-fried to golden brown perfection. These Vegetable Bajji: Indian Tempura by Tina Dawson are superbly delicious, easy enough to whip up on a whim and a perfect way to use up leftover pieces of vegetables that are too little to make anything else out of. The batter is a mixture of chickpea flour and rice flour with the optional addition of baking soda, which gives it that amazing crispiness. Traditionally, onion, eggplant, potato, and green bananas are used, but you can use whatever vegetables you have on hand.
