Jamaican-Style Jerked Jackfruit Sliders

1. For sliders: Preheat oven to 400 F. In food processor, combine all ingredients except jackfruit for jerk paste. Blend until smooth and a paste is formed.

2. In large bowl, combine paste with jackfruit; spread on greased baking sheets. Bake jackfruit 15 to 25 minutes or until crispy.

3. For pickled onion: Into nonreactive bowl, measure julienned red onion. In medium saucepan, bring 2 cups plus 2 tablespoons water to a boil. Pour over onions and let stand 30 seconds; drain. Return onions to nonreactive container; add vinegar, sugar, salt  and 2/3 cup plus 2 teaspoons water. Cover and refrigerate overnight.

4. To order, place 2 ounces jackfruit on each roll bottom; top with 1 ounce pickled onion. Dress top of roll with ½ ounce vegan mayonnaise.
