Crispy Tangy Reuben Rolls – a tasty jackfruit update on our popular Reuben Roll recipe, with oil free air fryer, bake, and gluten free options.

 

Crispy Tangy Reuben Rolls @spabettie

We have been enjoying these Crispy Tangy 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 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.

Crispy Tangy Reuben Rolls

YIELD: 12-14 rolls

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

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)

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.

Repeat with remaining ingredients.

Brush each roll lightly with pickle juice.

Oil Free Air Fryer Instructions: Preheat air fryer to 350 °F. Arrange Crispy Tangy Reuben Rolls in single layer. Cook at 350 °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.

    I don’t think I’ve ever had jackfruit. These reuben rolls sounds really good!

    I don’t know what jackfruit tastes like, but I love all the other ingredients in these rolls, especially the dill pickles! Love how crispy they look too.

      jackfruit does not have a lot of flavor. much like tofu, it takes on the flavor of whatever marinade / sauce you pair it with. and thanks! we love these, oh so crispy good! 🙂
