Ingredients

• ½ a breadfruit
• 1 tsp pink salt ((6g))
• 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar ((15g))
• 1½ tbsp curry powder ((9g))
• 1½ tsp paprika ((3g))
• 1 tsp all purpose seasoning ((5g))
• 1 tsp parsley ((1g))
• 1 tsp thyme ((2g)(preferably fresh))
• ¼ tsp scotch bonnet powder ((1.5g)(optional))
• ⅛ tsp black pepper ((0.25g))
• ½ tsp pink salt ((3g))
• 1 tbsp lime juice ((15g))
• ¼ cup olive oil ((60ml))

Method

1. Slice the breadfruit in half so you are left with 2 quarters.
2. Use a paring knife to cut away the core (this is known as "the heart").
3. Use a paring knife or use a vegetable peeler if you find it easier to remove the skin.
4. Cut each quarter of breadfruit vertically into medium sized slices  (not too thin nor too thick, somewhere in between).
5. Add the slices to a large saucepan of boiling water with pink salt and vinegar.
6. Simmer for roughly 6-8 minutes until the fries are tender (check with a fork).
7. Drain off the fries in a colander and rinse them with cold water to prevent them from cooking any further.
8. Leave the fries to completely cool before blotting dry with kitchen towel.
9. Mix the curry powder, paprika, parsley, thyme, scotch bonnet powder, all purpose seasoning, black pepper, pink salt, olive oil, lime juice together in a small bowl.
10. Place the fries in a large bag or zip lock bag, secure the bag accordingly then shake the bag so the fries are completely coated.
11. Preheat the air fryer.Place fries in the basket and bake @ 356f/180c for 12-16 minutes (you may need to do this in batches).
12. Turn the slices half way through the cooking time and lightly spray with oil (this is optional).
13. Repeat the last 2 steps with the remaining slices.
14. Sprinkle additional pink salt on the slices if you want to and serve.
