Ingredients
- 2 cups breadfruit cooked and mashed
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons onion, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons scallions, chopped
- 1 tablespoon parsley, chopped
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup Cheddar cheese, grated
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 tablespoon green chili, deseeded and chopped
- 1/2 cup gluten free flour (e.g. cassava flour, almond flour, or gluten-free all-purpose mix)
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Peel, core, and cut the breadfruit into chunks. Boil in salted water until tender, about 15–20 minutes. Drain and mash while warm.
- In a bowl, combine mashed breadfruit with garlic, onions, parsley, salt, pepper, cayenne pepper, chili, mustard and cheese. Add the egg and gluten-free flour. Mix until it forms a firm, moldable dough. If it's too soft, add more flour a tablespoon at a time.
- Scoop and roll into small balls (about 1 to 1½ inches in diameter).
Air Fryer
- Preheat to 375°F (190°C). Lightly spray balls with oil and air fry for 12–15 minutes, shaking halfway through.
Fried
- Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Fry the balls until golden brown on all sides. Drain on paper towels.
Oven Baked
- Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 20–25 minutes, turning once for even browning.
- Serve warm with a dip and enjoy!
