FAQs

Do you have to boil breadfruit before frying? ›

Frying. Raw breadfruit can be fried, but you can also use roasted or boiled breadfruit for this, since it remains firm and sliceable after cooking. Cooking fresh breadfruit in oil calls for slicing it or cutting it into sticks and cooking it in hot oil until golden brown and cooked through.

As with steaming, cut the fruit into quarters or smaller pieces to fit in the pot. Skin can be removed before or after. Boil fully or halfway to freeze and store for future use. When boiled until soft, breadfruit can be mashed and eaten just like mashed potatoes.

Gently place the sliced or wedged breadfruit into the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Allow the breadfruit to fry for about 5-7 minutes on each side or until they turn a beautiful golden brown color.

Place breadfruit directly on oven rack and roast, flipping once halfway through cooking, until well browned on outside and flesh can be easily pierced through to the center with a skewer or knife, 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Let cool for 20 minutes.

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the breadfruit on a baking sheet or in a baking dish and bake it for about 1 to 1.5 hours, depending on its size. Check for tenderness by inserting a knife into the breadfruit — it should go through smoothly when it's done.

If the breadfruit has been mishandled that's a good sign that once it is cooked it will have some dark spots which are guaranteed to taste bitter.

Why do you soak breadfruit in water? ›
