Freeze-dried breadfruit chips with pepper salt

A crisp, no-fry snack — freeze-dried slices tossed in scotch-bonnet salt.

Serves 4 · 5 minutes (with slices already dried) · Snack · from CRM JA Charity processing team

Ingredients

• 3 cups freeze-dried breadfruit slices (3–4 mm)
• 1 tbsp coconut oil, melted
• 1 tsp flaky salt
• 1/2 tsp dried scotch bonnet flakes (or to taste)
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 1/4 tsp allspice (pimento), ground

Method

1. Mix the salt, pepper flakes, garlic powder and allspice.
2. Toss the slices very lightly with the melted coconut oil — just enough to make the seasoning stick.
3. Sprinkle the seasoning over and toss again.
4. Eat within a few hours, or seal without oil for a snack that keeps for months.

Sweet version: skip the pepper salt and dust with brown sugar and cinnamon instead.
