Cut the breadfruit in half and remove the core.

Brush the cut sides of the breadfruit with coconut oil.

Place the breadfruit cut side down on a baking sheet.

Roast in the oven for 45-60 minutes until tender and golden brown.

While the breadfruit roasts, heat coconut oil in a skillet over medium heat.

Add chopped garlic and onion to the skillet, sautéing until fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.

Stir in diced bell pepper, thyme, and scallions, cooking for another 3-4 minutes.

Season the mixture with black pepper, salt, and red pepper flakes to taste.

Add vegetable broth, bay leaves, carrots, and peas, simmering for 10 minutes until vegetables are tender.

Remove the breadfruit from the oven and let it cool slightly before slicing.

Squeeze lime juice over the breadfruit and serve with the sautéed vegetable mixture.
