- 1
Peel, core, and grate the breadfruit. Place the grated breadfruit in a colander and rinse under cold water. Squeeze out as much excess water as possible.
💡 Profitipps: Wearing gloves can help if you are sensitive to the breadfruit sap. - 2
In a large bowl, combine the squeezed breadfruit with finely chopped onion, minced garlic, finely chopped scotch bonnet pepper, chopped thyme, and chopped chives/scallions.
💡 Profitipps: Ensure all vegetables are finely chopped for even distribution. - 3
Add the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper to the breadfruit mixture. Mix well until everything is evenly combined and a cohesive batter forms.
- 4
Heat about 1-2 inches of vegetable oil in a deep skillet or pot over medium-high heat until it reaches about 350°F (175°C).
💡 Profitipps: Use a thermometer to ensure the oil is at the correct temperature. - 5
Carefully drop spoonfuls of the breadfruit batter into the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Fry in batches.
- 6
Fry the fritters for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to turn them.
- 7
Remove the fritters from the oil and place them on a wire rack lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
💡 Profitipps: Draining on a wire rack keeps them crispier than on paper towels alone. - 8
Serve the breadfruit fritters hot as a snack, appetizer, or side dish.
💡 Profitipps: Delicious served with a spicy dipping sauce or a squeeze of lime.
💡 Profitipps
- ✓Ensure the breadfruit is thoroughly squeezed to remove excess water for crispier fritters.
