Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Place the sliced sweet potatoes on a large baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with sea salt. Use your hands to toss everything together so that the sweet potato slices are well-coated. Arrange the slices in a single layer on the baking sheet. Roast 20 minutes, flip, then roast an additional 5 to 10 minutes, until golden-brown and cooked through.
Drain the jackfruit and remove any hard bulby bits.
Heat a medium-sized skillet to medium-high and add just enough oil to lightly coat the surface. Add the jackfruit and chili powder. Cook 2 to 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the barbecue sauce and bring mixture to a full boil, then reduce heat to medium-low. Cook, stirring occasionally for 20 to 30 minutes (the longer it cooks, the more barbecue-y the flavor will be).
Top the roasted sweet potato slices with bbq jackfruit, and top with easy cabbage slaw and chopped green onion.

Make the Cabbage Slaw:

Place all ingredients for the slaw in a mixing bowl. Use your hands to massage the cabbage with the lemon juice vigorously for a couple of minutes, until juices begin seeping out of the cabbage - this process helps break down the fibers in the cabbage and allows it to soften so that it’s easier to chew. Taste slaw for flavor and add more lime juice or sea salt to taste.
