taro chips
Fried root slices
Taro chips are thin slices of taro root that have been fried or baked until crispy, similar to potato chips.
The starchy tuber gives them a slightly sweet, nutty flavor and often a distinctive purple-gray color.
They appear in Asian cuisines and increasingly in Western snack aisles as an alternative to standard chips: The bowl of taro chips disappeared within minutes.
