Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams cassava root
- 1 can olive oil spray
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Peel the cassava root using a vegetable peeler. Rinse the peeled cassava under cold water and pat dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Using a mandoline slicer or a sharp knife, slice the cassava into very thin rounds, around 1/8-inch thick. Be consistent with the thickness to ensure even cooking.
Place the cassava slices into a large bowl and lightly spray them with olive oil spray. Gently toss to coat evenly.
Sprinkle the sea salt, black pepper, and paprika over the slices and toss again until all slices are evenly coated with the seasoning.
Arrange the cassava slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheets, making sure they do not overlap.
Place the baking sheets into the preheated oven. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the crisps are golden brown and crispy. Swap the position of the baking sheets halfway through cooking for even baking.
Remove the crisps from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for about 5 minutes. They will continue to crisp up as they cool.
Transfer the cassava crisps to a serving bowl and enjoy. Store any leftovers in an airtight container to maintain their crunch.
