Savor the crunch of homemade cassava crisps, seasoned with paprika and black pepper for a delightful kick. These gluten-free snacks are perfect for game day or as a light appetizer at your next gathering.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups cassava
  • 1 cup water
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • Oil for frying vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper

Method

  1. 1

    Start by peeling and washing the cassava thoroughly to remove any dirt.

  2. 2

    Cut the cassava into thin slices, about 1/8 inch thick, to ensure even cooking.

  3. 3

    Bring a pot of water to a boil and add the cassava slices. Cook for about 10 minutes until slightly tender.

  4. 4

    Drain the cassava and let it cool. Pat dry with a kitchen towel to remove excess moisture.

  5. 5

    Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Once hot, carefully add the cassava slices in batches.

  6. 6

    Fry the cassava until golden brown and crispy, around 3-4 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  7. 7

    Season with salt, paprika, and black pepper while they are still hot for extra flavor.

  8. 8

    Serve the cassava crisps warm as a snack or appetizer, and enjoy!
