1/2T dry mustard powder (optional)

1/2 cup cornstarch / cornflour
2x400g cans of green/immature jackfruit
Spray sunflower oil (if baking) or liquid sunflower oil (if frying)
(Use whichever spices you like / have at hand. All of the flavour comes from the spices so you will need them to make the jackfruit tasty. My mix is KFC style with a spicy kick.)
Equipment
Large mixing bowl
Colander
Tray or plate
Large baking tray (if baking)
Frying pan (if frying)
Spatula
Method
Heat your oven to 220c/425f/GM7.
Put the salt and spices in a bowl and mix well, using a hand whisk. This will remove any lumps.
Squeeze all of the water out of the jackfruit, this is a very important step. You can crush the jackfruit slightlky, this will allow the spices to get into the jackfruit. Put the jackfruit on a tray or plate.
Add 1/4 of the spice mix to the jackfruit. Massage it in well and rest it for 15 minutes.
Mix the remaining spice mix with the cornflour/starch. Toss the jackfruit in the cornflour mixture then place on a baking tray sprayed with oil. Spray the jackfruit with more oil.
Bake for around 30 minutes until the jackfruit is crispy. Serve immediately. The jackfruit can be re-baked and will crisp up again.
