This version comes together in just 30 minutes thanks to the magic of Nature’s Charm jackfruit confit.

Why You’ll Love These Vegan Crabcake Sliders

Traditional jackfruit recipes can be time-consuming—draining, rinsing, boiling, and shredding the fruit just to get it to the right texture. But with Nature’s Charm jackfruit confit, the prep work is already done for you. The jackfruit comes pre-seasoned, oil-packed, and ready to use, saving you at least 15-20 minutes in the kitchen. That means less time cooking and more time enjoying a delicious plant-based meal.

These sliders are:

• Take just 30 minutes (+ chill time)

• Light and healthy

• Crispy and golden

• 100% plant-based

• Packed with bright, zesty flavor

Ingredients That Pack a Punch

This crabcake mixture features a perfect blend of:

• Hearts of palm for that flaky, “seafood” texture

• Celery and parsley for crunch and freshness

• Old Bay seasoning, dijon mustard, and vegan Worcestershire for authentic crabcake flavor

• Just Egg and panko breadcrumbs to hold everything together

And of course, Nature’s Charm jackfruit confit, which takes these sliders to the next level in both convenience and taste.

How to Make Vegan Crabcake Sliders

Making these sliders is incredibly easy:

1. Mix: Combine the ingredients in a large bowl—jackfruit confit, hearts of palm, herbs, spices, and binding agents.

2. Shape: Form into patties and chill for 1 hour (or freeze briefly to speed things up).

3. Cook: Air fry or pan-fry until crispy and golden brown.

4. Assemble: Serve on toasted slider buns with arugula, juicy roma tomatoes, and a slather of vegan mayo.

For extra flavor, try adding a dash of hot sauce or a squeeze of lemon just before serving.

Pro Tip: Air Fry vs. Pan Fry

Both methods work beautifully. The air fryer version is lighter and oil-free, making it perfect for those watching their fat intake. But if you want that ultimate golden crust, a quick shallow fry in oil gives them a satisfying crunch you’ll love.

Perfect for Meal Prep or Weeknight Dinners

These jackfruit sliders store well and reheat beautifully, making them great for meal prep. You can even double the batch and freeze the patties for later. Just pull them out, crisp them up, and you’ve got a gourmet weeknight dinner in minutes.

Where to Buy Nature’s Charm Jackfruit Confit
