Toss sweet potato wedges with 2 tbsp oil, 1 tsp smoked paprika, 0.5 tsp salt on a large sheet pan. Roast 28–30 minutes over medium-high, flipping at 14 minutes, until edges turn deep amber.

While jackfruit simmers, combine cabbage, apple, vegan mayo, remaining 2 tbsp cider vinegar, remaining 0.5 tsp salt in a bowl. Scrunch with hands 5 minutes until cabbage softens and slaw is ready.
