Candida Diet Friendly Ginger-Scallion Taro Chips
Crunchy, savory, and genuinely satisfying, these baked taro chips hit that snack craving without leaning on anything that would derail your gut-healing goals. Taro is a starchy root that crisps up beautifully in the oven, and when it's sliced paper-thin and tossed in coconut oil with fresh ginger, turmeric, and a squeeze of lemon, the result is something you'll want to make on repeat. Fresh ginger and turmeric are both well-regarded for their anti-inflammatory properties, and they pull double duty here as flavor powerhouses. The scallion greens scattered on at the end add a mild, bright finish that keeps every bite feeling fresh rather than heavy. Coconut oil is the fat of choice for good reason — it's a clean, sugar-free option that helps the chips achieve that golden, crispy edge without any questionable additives. The key to getting them truly crunchy is patting the taro slices completely dry before coating them, so don't skip that step. These are the kind of chips that disappear fast, so consider doubling the batch.

4 servings
- 1 large taro root (about 1 lb), peeled
- 2 tbsp coconut oil, melted
- 1 tsp fresh ginger, finely grated
- ¼ tsp ground turmeric
- ¾ tsp fine sea salt

Wearing gloves if your skin is sensitive, use a mandoline or a sharp knife to slice the peeled taro root into rounds about 1/16-inch (1.5mm) thick — thin enough to see light through when held up, but not so thin they tear. Pat the slices thoroughly dry with paper towels; any surface moisture will steam rather than crisp.
