These little sliders are perfect for parties, sports game-watching, and of course just a delicious + healthy dinner. This recipe comes together so EASILY! Simply pulse the jackfruit in your food processor or loosely chop up and simmer with your favorite BBQ sauce. While that’s cooking whip up the easiest most delicious ranch that you’ll want to put on everything. We’re lightening up a traditional ranch by using half plant based yogurt. Then adding garlic, green onions, lemon juice, and dill for the perfect crave worthy sauce. Trust me, this sauce can liven up any dish. We’re using slider buns to make little sandwiches but this is also amazing stuffed into a baked sweet potato or over chips. 

Happy cooking my friends!
