Cassava Chips
Kick potatoes to the curb and get your crispy chip fix from a different root vegetable, cassava.
Ingredients
- 1 cassava
- Salt
- Cayenne powder
- Canola/vegetable oil
Steps
- Remove the top inch and bottom inch of the cassava. Peel away the thick skin until you can see the white flesh underneath.
- Using a slicer or mandolin, slice the cassava on the thinnest setting. This will result in a super crispy chip.
- Place sliced cassava on paper towels, and blot to remove excess moisture.
- In a high-sided pot, heat oil to 375 degrees. Cook chips in batches, without crowding the pan, until crisp and slightly golden. Drain on paper towels.
- While still warm, season with cayenne and salt to taste. Enjoy!
