Step 1

Line an air fryer basket with baking paper.

Step 2

Trim and seperate jackfruit into stringy pieces (like cooked chicken breast). Remove seeds.

Step 3

In a large bowl, combine the ingredients for the buttermilk marinade.

Step 4

Transfer the trimmed jackfruit to the marinade and let sit for 30 minutes, stir to cover all pieces.

Step 5

While the jackfruit is marinating begin combining all ingredients for the breading mixture in a separate large bowl except for the chickpea flour.

Step 6

Once the jackfruit is done marinating, spoon out each of the pieces to a separate medium sized bowl, reserving the leftover liquid.

Step 7

Transfer the leftover marinade liquid to a liquid measuring cup. In the same bowl that had the marinade liquid, add the chickpea flour. Slowly pour the marinade liquid back into the bowl with the flour while whisking to combine until you've created a pancake-like consistency.

Step 8

Arrange your three bowls in the following order: jackfruit pieces (furthest from the air fryer basket), liquid batter, breading mixture (closest to the air fryer basket).

Step 9

Add large amounts, or all of the jackfruit into the liquid batter. Cover well, using tongs to coat the jackfruit evenly.

Step 10

Then gently transfer the battered jackfruit into the breading mixture. Mix well. Use your hands or a spoon to create the shape you want your jackfruit pieces to look like. Transfer to the air-fryer basket

Step 11

Spray both sides of each jackfruit piece generously with neutral oil of your choice.

Step 12

Cook on air fryer setting at 400° for 20 minutes. Enjoy!
