Breadfruit is a superfruit so I decided to do a Q&A with my father who is a self-proclaimed expert at roasting breadfruit (and breadfruit in general).
Items Needed:
- Breadfruit
- Grill with side burner
- Knife
Method
- Push knife through top of breadfruit all the way to the center
- Make a visible X through the flesh on the bottom of the breadfruit
- Light the side burner
- Add breadfruit to side burner
- Roast breadfruit over open flame for approximately 35-45 minutes
- Carefully rotate breadfruit occasionally to allow each side to roast
- Turn off burner once breadfruit is completely roasted; breadfruit skin should appear completely burned
- Carefully remove roasted breadfruit from side burner
- Rinse roasted breadfruit with warm water
- Immediately peel breadfruit and remove the core
- Slice and serve roasted breadfruit
Note:
- Roasted breadfruit can be fried
- Roasted breadfruit pairs well with vegan ackee or ackee and saltfish
