Crunchy, golden, and seasoned with a warm blend of turmeric and ginger, these cassava chips deliver serious snack satisfaction with nothing sketchy hiding in the ingredient list. Store-bought chips are one of the sneakiest places to find unwanted sweeteners, with corn syrup solids and glucose-fructose blends showing up in coatings, seasonings, and even the oils used for frying. Here, every single ingredient is whole and straightforward — fresh yuca, coconut oil, sea salt, and two honest spices — so you know exactly what you're eating. The mandoline slicing and double-fry approach (letting the oil return to temperature between batches) is what gives these chips that satisfying, audible crunch rather than a greasy, limp result. The turmeric lends a beautiful amber hue and a faintly earthy depth, while the ginger adds just enough warmth to keep things interesting without overpowering the naturally mild cassava flavor. They crisp up further as they cool, so a little patience goes a long way before you dive in.

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.
