Vegan BBQ Ribs

Cultural Context

Vegan BBQ Ribs are a modern twist on traditional BBQ, originating in the Southern United States where ribs are a staple at cookouts and gatherings. This plant-based version celebrates the rich flavors of BBQ while catering to those seeking healthier or cruelty-free options. As veganism gains popularity, these ribs have found a place on menus and in homes worldwide, offering a delicious alternative for everyone to enjoy.

4 servings
Servings4
2 flax eggs (2 tbsp flaxseed meal + 5 tbsp water)
1 lb plant-based ground meat
1 20 oz. can jackfruit (drained + hard parts removed)
¼ medium white onion (diced)
2 cloves fresh garlic (minced)
1 tbsp brown sugar
1½ tsp smoked paprika
salt (to taste)
black pepper (to taste)
1 tsp liquid smoke
rib rub seasoning blend of choice (to taste)
BBQ Sauce of choice (¼-½ cup)

jackfruit

🥗Healthier: mushrooms

💰Cheaper: cabbage

Mushrooms provide a meaty texture, while cabbage is more affordable.

BBQ sauce

🥗Healthier: homemade sauce

💰Cheaper: ketchup

Homemade sauce can be lower in sugar and preservatives, while ketchup is budget-friendly.

1

Preheat oven to 350°.

2

Combine the ground flaxseed and water to form flax egg. Place in the fridge to set.

3

In a large bowl add your vegan ground, drained jackfruit, onion, garlic, brown sugar, smoked paprika, salt, pepper and liquid smoke.

4

Once the flax egg is set, add it to the bowl along with the other ingredients. Mix until all ingredients are combined.

5

Transfer the mixture to a baking sheet lined with foil. Use your hands to form the mixture into a 1 inch thick rectangular shape, then use a knife to make indentions (to appear rib-like) about 1-1½ inches wide.

6

Sprinkle with rib rub seasoning blend to taste, then transfer to the oven and bake for 1 hour.

7

Preheat grill (if necessary).

8

Once the ribs are finished baking, remove from the oven and brush with BBQ sauce of choice.

9

Transfer vegan rib rack (with foil) to the grill and cook for about 15-20 minutes at about 300-400°.

10

Remove from the grill and brush with additional BBQ sauce to taste. Serve immediately.
