This vegan jammin' jambalaya is the kind of one-pan wonder that makes a Tuesday feel like a proper occasion. We've packed in smoky plant-based sausage, pulled jackfruit, two kinds of bell pepper, and a hit of cayenne that builds just enough heat to keep you going back for more. The cherry tomatoes and sun-dried tomatoes give it real depth, and the smoked paprika ties everything together in a way that feels genuinely Southern. It's ready in 25 minutes, so there's absolutely no excuse not to make it tonight.
