Ingredients
- 500 grams cassava root
- 1 can olive oil spray
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Step 2
Peel the cassava root using a vegetable peeler. Rinse the peeled cassava under cold water and pat dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
Place the cassava slices into a large bowl and lightly spray them with olive oil spray. Gently toss to coat evenly.
Step 5
Sprinkle the sea salt, black pepper, and paprika over the slices and toss again until all slices are evenly coated with the seasoning.
Step 6
Arrange the cassava slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheets, making sure they do not overlap.
Step 7
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.
Step 8
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.
Step 9
Transfer the cassava crisps to a serving bowl and enjoy. Store any leftovers in an airtight container to maintain their crunch.
