taro and beetroot chips
with smoky coriander salt
- vegetable oil, for deep-frying
- 2 (500g) taro, peeled and thinly sliced
- 1 (300g) large beetroot, peeled and thinly sliced+
- smoky coriander salt
- ¼ cup (125g) sea salt flakes
- 1 tablespoon coriander seeds
- To make the smoky coriander salt, place the salt in a non-stick frying pan over high heat and cook for 4 minutes or until it begins to change colour. Add the coriander seeds and cook for a further minute or until fragrant. Process in a small food processor until combined. Set aside.
- Heat the oil in a large, deep saucepan over medium heat until hot. Deep-fry the taro and beetroot, in batches, for 1–2 minutes or until golden and crispy. Drain on non-stick baking paper, sprinkle with the salt and serve immediately.
+ Beetroot tends to bleed and stain anything it touches when it’s cut, so it’s a good idea to wear gloves.
