Five Spice 
Taro Crisps

Thinly sliced taro root yields seriously crunchy chips – so much that your tasters will never believe you didn't give them the deep-fryer treatment. A combination of maple syrup and five-spice powder gives them well-rounded sweet 
and aromatic notes.

Ingredients

  • 14 oz

each sea salt

Preparation

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F.

  3. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes, flip over, and bake for 3 to 5 minutes more, or until chips are crispy and edges are slightly browning. (NOTE: If chips are browning too quickly, reduce oven to 250 to 300°F midway through cooking time.) Transfer chips to racks to cool. Arrange remaining taro slices on sheets and repeat baking process.
