Roast Breadfruit

Prepare the Breadfruit

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

Rinse the breadfruit under cold water and pat it dry. Using a sharp knife, cut off the stem end and any blemishes on the surface.

Season the Breadfruit

Using a knife or fork, prick the breadfruit all over to allow heat to penetrate. Rub the breadfruit with olive oil, ensuring it is well-coated. Season with salt, black pepper, and paprika. For extra flavor, you can also rub minced garlic over the breadfruit.

Roast the Breadfruit

Place the breadfruit on a baking sheet or in a roasting pan. Roast in the preheated oven for 60-75 minutes, turning occasionally, until the breadfruit is golden brown and the skin is crispy. A skewer or knife should easily pierce through the flesh when it’s done.

Cool and Peel

Remove the breadfruit from the oven and let it cool slightly. Once cool enough to handle, cut the breadfruit in half and remove the core. Peel off the skin and discard it.

Serve

Slice the breadfruit into wedges or chunks. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired and serve hot.
