1

Scoop ripe breadfruit with a spoon and add it to a blender with onions, garlic, and a piece of ginger.

2

Blend until the onions are incorporated into the breadfruit mixture.

3

Add a quarter cup of flour and a blend of powdered season and dry herbs to the breadfruit mix and combine well.

4

Pinch off enough dough to form a golf ball-sized ball and roll it in your hands.

5

Coat the ball in egg wash and then roll it in bread crumbs that contain parsley.

6

Heat coconut oil in a pan and lower the heat to medium.

7

Add the breadfruit balls to the hot oil and fry until golden brown.

8

Optionally, add cheese to the center of the balls before frying.

9

After frying, place the balls in a toaster oven at 400 degrees for about five minutes to cook through and allow some oil to drain.
