I love taro…any way, form and shape…taro chips? Yes, I had taro chips before…where taro came together with a bunch of different roots (Terra Chips), the only problem that I find is that the chips were too salty and oily. So after seeing the recipe from Taste Hong Kong I decided to make some roasted taro chips myself.
Well, I was lazy and I did not use the hand held peeler, but a slicer…therefore the chips were a little thicker which at the end did not give me the kind of crunchiness that I expected but a fairly hardy texture. Not too bad… but next time I will definitely make them slightly thinner.
Ingredients:
½ lb peeled taro
Olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
Method:
Slice the taro root and place in a big bowl. Drizzle olive oil and sprinkle salt and pepper to taste. Mix gently.
Spread the sliced taro to a silicone mate and bake in a 300 F pre-heated oven for approximately 20 minutes until the chips curl up and are totally dry, approximately 10 minutes each side.
Let the chips cool down before storing in an air tight container.
I hope you enjoy this simple recipe and have a wonderful day.
Did you know that taro and taro leaves are toxic when raw but safe when cooked?
Thank you for stopping by Simple Recipes!
I have never heard of Taro or Taro Root; these sure look good; going to find out what and where I can find this wonderul exotic ingredient.

I also have never tasted taro, but I think I see them sometimes in “exotic” grocery shops. I had no idea they are so beautiful inside. The recipe sounds like a delicious and healthy snack, I am sure I would impress every guest with these chips. Thank you for the excellent idea!
I have never heard of taro,but it looks beautiful!
I lke that these are baked, rather than fried. The taro looks very pretty with the speckles in it, doesn’t it?
Wow, those chips look so pretty! What a wonderful idea!
these look great and fun to see what taro looks like he he
I know about taro, but have never cooked with it at home. These chips look wonderful, Juliana. Perhaps I should use my mandolin to slice? That way they’d be thinner. The crisper the better, I think.
I LOVE taro..we make stir fry with it in indian cusine..loved your chips..very unique & healthy!
I love taro too and these chips looks wonderful!
Sadly it’s rare for me to find taro around here, though I love it so much (especially as a bubble tea flavor!). I bet these were delicious.
I have had Terra Chips, love them! Your Taro chips look delicious, never saw taro around here, but I’d try the chips if I did see Taro. I’ve made beet chips before and they were really good.
These chips are beautiful! I’ll have to keep an eye out for taro.
I’ve never heard of taro, now I want to check it out. These chips look very pretty! They are like flower petals!
I am not a huge fan of taro but I don’t mind some chips made out from them
I hadn’t heard of taro before this. Those chips are just beautiful. Are they actually purple and white? They look really cool!
We dont get Taro here, maybe someday I’ll get to try it.
Those taro chips looks so pretty.hmmmm…maybe can make for chinese new year snack
ahhhh taro chips were on my to-do list in july! i had bought it and they ended up burning in the oven b/c i wasn’t paying attn. lol. but my taro root didn’t have these beautiful purple lines in them… i remember trying to figure out why! any ideas?
Don’t usually think of taro chips…and these are delicious looking!
home-made chips are the best, healthy and delicious!
I’ve actually had taro chips before, the ones in the terra brand mixed veggie chips, and love them! However, I bet yours taste ten times better – they sure look like they do!
If only I could find taro easily in these parts, as I’d love to try making this.
I love Taro, infact its my husband favorite veggie….
These chips looks awesome…
Love taros…those chips look so cute!
Crispy and healthy chip! Thanks for the idea dear…
I absolutely love taro in anything!
A couple of years I even had a taro birthday cake 
these look absolutely amazing – healthy and pretty!
If you still have some leftovers, let’s do some exercises for our jaws together with these thicker chips : ). Actually I did yield some thicker slices from my hand held peeler; I cheated by adding more oil to them for more crunchiness.
Thank you for the shout out Juliana!
omg.. my love love… taro chips.. i buy mine from savoy… OMG im totally making mine now.. they loook on par with savoy less the preservaties YAYAYAYAYAYA

I’ve never had taro before, but it certainly makes beautiful chips! I’d love to try them.
*kisses* HH
I’ve wondered what to do with taro root. Never would have thought of these. They look so pretty Juliana – truly. I had no idea you could make chips looks so inviting. They are dancing.
Whether you were disappointed or not in the lack of crunch…I’d say they still look stunning.
This will anticipate my next trip to the Asian produce aisle. Taro, here I come.
Have a great week Juliana ;o)
Ciao for now,
Claudia
I’ve never seen these before. I’ll have to give them a try. They look delicious and I know my gang would enjoy them. I hope you have a great day. Blessings…Mary
Wow, interesting that raw taro is toxic. I’ve only had these chips in the Terra Chips you mentioned…I love salt, so I found them quite addicting. But a fun idea to make them at home…they are SO pretty!
How interesting! I’ve never tasted taro before…and will admit I’m not even familiar with it! I love learning about new foods and am so excited to seek this out and definitely try your recipe! I love how pretty they look. These would be so pretty on a holiday party!
Like you, my first experience of Taro Chips was from a bag of “Terra Chips”
Yours look so much prettier! I’d like to give these a try!
I love taro but would never have thought to make chips with them. That is really just too cool Julianna. Have a great week!

I have never heard of taro either, but the chips are very pretty.
These chips are so gorgeous and pink that I thought they were a confection before I read your post. These would be great for a game day party.
Great snack! Love it! Miriam@Meatless Meals For Meat Eaters
I grew up with boring boiled taro, so this would be a great new twist on the vegetable!
I’ve never had taro or taro chips!
I love taro chips but I never thought to make my own! They are so much healthier baked like this…thanks so much, I will definitely be making this recipe!

i don’t believe i’ve ever had the good fortune of tasting taro, but i can certainly comment on its beauty! what a unique look!
Fascinating! These look super delicious
I didn’t even realize you could make them at home! Duh!
If only I could find taro, I would make these chips in a heart beat! They’re lovely, and look fantastically crunchy.
I love that unique colors on the chips. It might be hard to find taro her but looking at your chips I am tempted.
I haven’t cooked with Taro in ages. I can’t wait to buy some to try these chips, Juliana. What a GREAT idea. And what a wonderful way it would be to introduce kids to taro!!!
Thank you so much for sharing…Bookmarked!
I love Taro! Your taro has the one with purple dots – I usually call taro for the small slimy kind. I want to check out this taro and make healthy chips for my kids!
I have never seen a pretty taro like that before. To get a good one here is like finding needles in the sea. This is a pretty and delicious snacks.
I love taro chips and will have to give these a try soon. Much better to make them at home as the store bought ones are pretty expensive. Have a lovely weekend!
I LOVE taro too!
I’ve been wanting to try this recipe ever since I read about it too! (but taro is a little expensive at the moment :S) Your taro chips might not be as thin as the original ones, but they still look really pretty and delicious 
I love taro, in anyway they are prepared! And I absolutely love taro chips, yours looks really good and addictive! Thanks for sharing! Have a lovely weekend!
hello juliana very original as usual cheers de Paris Pierre
Ooooh your tara chips looks great & apart too! I have never heard from a tara root before but I am going to search for it! thanks!

HUGS <3
How fun do these look! Healthy and delicious snack for sure. I have to try these. And no, I really cannot believe you have not made biscuits! Biscuits with cream is exactly what you should reward yourself after eating such healthy chips.
This is such a great snack Juliana! I love it!
I find it so perfect.
I’ve never had taro root, but I’ll bet it tastes better than kale chips.
