Ingredients

  • 1 lb Taro Root
  • 2 tbsp Avocado Oil
  • 1 tsp Sea Salt
  • 1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
  • 1/2 tsp Onion Powder
  • 1/4 tsp Smoked Paprika
  • 1/4 tsp Black Pepper
  • 1/4 tsp Dried Rosemary
  • 1/8 tsp Cayenne Pepper
  • 1 tbsp Nutritional Yeast
  • 1 tsp Lime Juice

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

  2. 2

    Wash and peel the taro root. Using a mandoline or a very sharp knife, slice the taro root into very thin slices (about 1/16 inch thick).

  3. 3

    Place the taro slices in a large bowl and drizzle with avocado oil and lime juice.

  4. 4

    In a separate small bowl, combine the sea salt, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, black pepper, rosemary, cayenne pepper (if using), and nutritional yeast (if using).

  5. 5

    Sprinkle the spice mixture over the taro slices and toss to coat evenly.

  6. 6

    Arrange the taro slices in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Avoid overcrowding the pan.

  7. 7

    Bake for 15 minutes, then flip the chips and bake for another 10-15 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Watch carefully to prevent burning.

  8. 8

    Remove from the oven and let cool completely on the baking sheet. The chips will crisp up further as they cool.

  9. 9

    Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Tips & Notes

  • For extra crispy chips, soak the sliced taro in cold water for 30 minutes before baking to remove excess starch. Pat dry thoroughly before tossing with oil and spices.
  • Adjust the spices to your preference. For a sweeter chip, add a pinch of cinnamon or maple sugar.
  • Make sure the taro slices are as thin as possible for the best crispy texture. A mandoline is highly recommended.

Recipe Variations

  • Try adding different herbs for variety.
  • Substitute ingredients based on dietary needs.
