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
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- 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
Place the taro slices in a large bowl and drizzle with avocado oil and lime juice.
- 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
Sprinkle the spice mixture over the taro slices and toss to coat evenly.
- 6
Arrange the taro slices in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Avoid overcrowding the pan.
- 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
Remove from the oven and let cool completely on the baking sheet. The chips will crisp up further as they cool.
- 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.
