To prepare, preheat your oven to the temperature specified on the packaging, typically around 200°C (400°F). Remove the pizza from its packaging and place it directly onto a baking sheet or oven rack. Bake for the recommended time, usually between 12 to 18 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the toppings are heated through and bubbly. Keep an eye on it to prevent burning. Allow it to cool slightly before slicing and serving.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike pizzas with traditional pulled pork or chicken, this option uses jackfruit, a tropical fruit that absorbs flavors well and has a fibrous texture. This makes it a suitable plant-based substitute. The BBQ sauce provides a distinct sweet and smoky taste that complements the jackfruit.
Who it is for
This pizza is ideal for individuals seeking a convenient and flavorful plant-based meal option.
How to keep the rest
Once purchased, store the pizza in the refrigerator. It should be kept in its original packaging until ready to bake. Ensure it is kept at a consistent cold temperature to maintain freshness. Do not refreeze if it has thawed.
