How to Make Vegan Buffalo Dip with Step-By-Step Instructions
A complete printable recipe and the measurements in both US customary and metric are available in the recipe card below.
For the Buffalo Sauce
Melt vegan butter in a pan over medium heat and then add hot sauce, chili powder, vegan Worcestershire sauce, and garlic salt, stir, and heat until the ingredients have melted and are combined.
For the Jackfruit Buffalo Dip
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
Drain the jackfruit and rinse it well. Chop the jackfruit off the core and discard the core pieces.
Shred the jackfruit’s flesh with your hands; these will look like meaty pieces.
Place the shredded jackfruit and four tablespoons of buffalo sauce into a large skillet and heat until the jackfruit becomes a little crispy.
Then, add the remaining ingredients into a bowl and stir to combine. Add the jackfruit to the mix and transfer to an oven dish – or back into the skillet if using an ovenproof skillet.
Bake for 25 minutes, then remove from the oven.
Let the dip cool for at least 15 minutes, then serve it up with your favorite veggie sticks, vegan crackers, chips, or pita bread.
How to Store Leftover Buffalo Jackfruit Dip
Once you’ve made this mouthwatering Vegan Buffalo Jackfruit Dip, you might find yourself with some leftovers. No worries! This delicious plant-based buffalo dip can be stored for later.
To store the dip properly, transfer it to an airtight container and refrigerate. It can last for up to 3 days in the refrigerator, maintaining its wonderful flavors.
When you’re ready to dig in again, simply take the dip out of the fridge and give it a quick stir. If the dip appears thick, add a little bit of plant-based milk and stir until it reaches your desired consistency.
How to Serve Your Plant Based Buffalo Dip
Serve your vegan buffalo dip right from the pan with melted vegan cheese on top, or spoon it into a smaller bowl and top with extra buffalo sauce, ranch, or a little fresh dill.
Serve with fresh vegetable sticks, crackers, tortilla chips, pita bread, or fresh or toasted bread.
Want something more substantial? Add it to a tasty vegan wrap. Dunk cauliflower nuggets, air fryer tofu nuggets, or crispy red skin potatoes in it for a satisfying and filling snack.
