👨🍳 Instrucțiuni
- 1
Peel, core, and grate the breadfruit. If using fresh breadfruit, you can boil it until tender first, then grate. If using a firm, raw breadfruit, grate it raw.
💡 Sfaturi Profesioniste: Ensure the breadfruit is not overly ripe for the best texture. - 2
In a large bowl, combine the grated breadfruit, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, minced scotch bonnet pepper (if using), chopped parsley, flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper.

Add a little water, a tablespoon at a time, if the mixture seems too dry, until it holds together when squeezed but is not wet. The consistency should be like a thick batter or moist dough.

Heat the vegetable oil in a deep pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat until it reaches about 350°F (175°C).
💡 Sfaturi Profesioniste: Use a thermometer to ensure the oil is at the correct temperature for even frying. - 5
Carefully drop spoonfuls of the breadfruit mixture into the hot oil. Do not overcrowd the pot; fry in batches.

Fry the fritters for about 3-5 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Turn them occasionally for even cooking.

Remove the fritters from the oil using a slotted spoon and place them on a wire rack lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
💡 Sfaturi Profesioniste
- ✓For a spicier kick, leave some seeds in the scotch bonnet pepper.
- ✓If breadfruit is not available, green bananas or plantains can be used as a substitute, though the flavor will differ.
- ✓Ensure the oil is hot enough before frying to prevent the fritters from absorbing too much oil.
