Longing for a healthy alternative to chips? Try taro chips!

If you’re looking for a healthy safe starch chip, you should absolutely try taro chips. They make a perfect alternative to potato chips and are great for dipping in guacamole or pico de gallo. If you use a mandoline to make these, make sure you use the proper safety guard and perhaps invest in a pair of cut resistant gloves!

Type of dish: Snack
Equipment: Mandoline or peeler, baking sheet
Servings: Makes one batch

Ingredients:

• Taro root, peeled
• Duck fat, lard, or coconut oil
• Salt to taste

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
2. Thinly slice the peeled taro using a peeling gadget such as a mandoline with its safety attachment guard in place to protect fingers. The shortcut method, which will not end in round slices, but still nice size chips (pictured), is to use a vegetable peeler to easily create thin slices.
3. Brush the slices lightly with the fat of choice and sprinkle with salt and any other seasonings you are using.
4. Arrange the slices in a single layer on a greased baking tray and roast for 12 minutes. One taro root can make a lot of chips. Because of the single layer, it is necessary to use several baking sheets or work in batches, greasing pan again if necessary in between batches.
5. After 12 minutes, check to see if they are crispy all the way through and no longer soft in the center.
6. Remove to cool and sprinkle with salt.

Enjoy!
