Method

  1. 1

    Drain and rinse the jackfruit, then use your hands to shred the pieces into a pulled texture. Toss with smoked paprika, cumin, garlic powder, olive oil and a pinch of salt.

  2. 2

    Spread the jackfruit onto a lined baking tray and roast at 210°C for 25–30 minutes until the edges are crispy and caramelised, turning halfway.

  3. 3

    Cook the basmati rice according to packet instructions. Drain and rinse the black beans and warm them in a small pan with a pinch of cumin and salt.

  4. 4

    Make the mango salsa by dicing the mango, finely slicing the red chilli and mixing with the juice of one lime and a pinch of salt.

  5. 5

    Assemble the bowls with rice, black beans and crispy jackfruit, then pile the mango salsa on top and finish with a squeeze of fresh lime.
