Crunchy, golden, and seasoned with a warm blend of turmeric and ginger, these cassava chips deliver serious snack satisfaction without a single crack of black pepper in sight. For anyone navigating a pepper sensitivity or elimination diet, the spice aisle can feel like a minefield — so many chips and seasoning blends sneak it in without a second thought. Here, the heat and depth come entirely from ginger and turmeric, giving each chip a subtly earthy, aromatic flavor that stands beautifully on its own. Fresh yuca is sliced thin, dried carefully, and fried in coconut oil until pale golden and irresistibly crisp — the technique is straightforward but the results feel genuinely special. The key is patting those slices completely dry before they hit the oil, which keeps things safe and ensures maximum crunch. They crisp up even further as they cool, so by the time you're ready to dig in, you've got a chip that rivals anything from a bag — and you know exactly what's in it.

Peel the yuca by cutting off both ends, then slicing through the bark-like skin lengthwise and pulling it away in strips. Halve each piece crosswise, then use a mandoline or a sharp knife to slice the yuca into rounds 1/16 to 1/8 inch thick. Pat the slices thoroughly dry with paper towels — any surface moisture will cause the oil to spatter.
Pour the coconut oil into a large pot or deep skillet to a depth of at least 2 inches. Heat over medium-high heat until the oil reaches 350°F (175°C) on a deep-fry thermometer.
