Ingredients: 1 (20 ounce) can jackfruit, drained; 1/3 cup oil free Vegan Thousand Island Dressing, plus more for dipping; 1 small sweet onion, peeled and diced; 2 cloves garlic, peeled and minced; 6-7 thin slices vegan swiss cheese, optional / omit for oil free; 2 large dill pickles, chopped; 12-14 vegan wonton wrappers (rice paper wraps for gluten free)

these vegan Reuben Rolls are a tasty jackfruit update on the classic Reuben, with oil free air fryer, bake, and gluten free options.

We have been enjoying these vegan reuben rolls for years.

A while back, the original recipe went through a few updates. First, I baked them instead of the pan fry. While this method works well and is easily oil free, I now use the air fryer! Oil free, super crispy, quick and easy! This recipe has instructions for air fryer, oven baking, and pan fry methods.

The other change I made to the original recipe is that I now use jackfruit in place of chickpeas. I still love jackfruit and add it to whatever I can.

Some of you may remember one way my original Reuben roll recipe veered wildly from the traditional? I used tangy tart pickles instead of sauerkraut. I know, I know... I love sauerkraut, but Jason is not a big fan. He does like pickles, however - and that's a close enough flavor for me.

Plus, more sauerkraut for me. I have been known to add it to a few of these vegan Reuben rolls.

and I just make sure I keep track of them...

These are always on the list when I am asked about favorite comfort foods. When I am hosting a game day get together, or needing an appetizer for anything.

I have lost count how many times I have served these, how many people have raved about them, and how quickly they disappear.

I generally make a double batch.

Yum.

Reuben Rolls

dairy, egg, soy, and oil free, vegan, gluten free option

Prep Time 15 minutes

Cook Time 15 minutes

Total Time 30 minutes

Ingredients

1 (20 ounce) can jackfruit, drained
⅓ cup oil free Vegan Thousand Island Dressing, plus more for dipping
1 small sweet onion, peeled and diced
2 cloves garlic, peeled and minced
6-7 thin slices vegan swiss cheese, optional / omit for oil free
2 large dill pickles, chopped
12-14 vegan wonton wrappers (rice paper wraps for gluten free)

Instructions

Using forks, shred jackfruit. Combine with Vegan Thousand Island Dressing, set aside to marinate.
In a saucepan over medium heat, sauté onion and garlic in a bit of water until softened and translucent. Remove from heat, combine with jackfruit mixture.
To assemble rolls: arrange a wrap in a diamond shape, or run a rice paper wrap under water briefly. Place 2 tablespoons jackfruit mixture in bottom corner. Top with one half slice cheese, if using, and one tablespoon chopped pickles. Roll as pictured in this photo.
Brush each roll lightly with pickle juice.
Oil Free Air Fryer 350 °F. Arrange Crispy Tangy Reuben Rolls in single layer. Cook at
°F for 5 minutes. Remove and turn rolls / shake basket. Return to air fryer for another 3 minutes, or until crisp and golden brown.
Baking instructions: preheat oven to 350 °F. Arrange rolls in single layer on baking sheet lined with parchment. Bake at 350 °F for 7 minutes. Remove from oven and turn. Return to oven for another 5-7 minutes, or until crisp and golden brown.
Alternatively, an oil-frying option: heat 1-2 tablespoons oil in pan over medium heat, add 3-4 rolls at a time, turning frequently so they get an even light brown crunchiness all around. Remove to a drying rack or paper towel.
Serve warm with Vegan Thousand Island Dressing.

Two things I cannot find anywhere: vegan wonton wrappers and jackfruit. Any suggestions where to find these items?

  hi Liz! the wonton wrappers are sometimes difficult to find, but I have used several varieties: Twin Dragon brand has both "egg roll" AND "won ton" wrappers that are egg free / vegan. Dynasty is another egg free brand. Both Twin Dragon and Dynasty I have found at Whole Foods, and sometimes "regular" stores like Safeway. and there are two egg free / vegan brands I have found at an Asian grocer.
  
  I used to find jackfruit only at the Asian / International markets - in cans with brine. now that jackfruit has become more popular, I sometimes even find it in Whole Foods and our local grocers. if you have Asian / International grocers around you, I bet you can find one or both of these items there?
  
  I hope this helps, and I hope you are able to find these! 🙂

I seriously wish I liked jackfruit because this looks so good. Just may have to give it another shot.

These sounds so crazy good. And I can't believe how easy they are! My husband is a HUGE reuben fan. I can't wait to make these and see what he thinks of a vegan version!

So cool that this is vegan. I'd love to try an air fryer. This sounds like a great recipe for adults and kids.

You are the jackfruit queen! I really need to try these since my husband is a big fan of reubens and he loves eggrolls - seems meant to be.
