Taro fries

lbs taro root

Tsp Paprika

garlic powder

cayenne pepper

salt and pepper (to taste)

Peel the taro root and cut it into fries. The taro pieces should all be similar in size.

Rinse, drain and pat dry with a paper towel

Season with paprika, salt, and pepper

Pour 3 inches of oil into a large, deep pan. Heat the oil to 400F.

Gently lower the taro inside the oil. Cook till golden and crispy for about 8 to 10 minutes, flipping halfway between.

Serve with ketchup or hot sauce.

Frying method

Preheat the oven to 450°F.

Toss the fries with the oil, paprika, salt, and pepper in a large bowl.

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place the seasoned taro on the baking sheet in a single layer. Place inside the oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes until fries begin to brown slightly on the edges – flip them over halfway through the baking process so that all sides will have a chance to brown and crisp.

Excellent recipe! Turned out great! I loved it!

Yay- I made a small batch as my 1st try. I wasn’t sure about the thickness until I read these comments but I’d already completed my fries. They still came out pretty great. I have a different air fryer and would only get me 390 degrees at 15. Although I should’ve aimed for 13 minutes- still came out great! Thanks for the recipe!

Hey Meeta,

Thanks for your recipe.

Could you tell me what is the brand of the air fryer you used when cooking? You say that the taro fries at 10 minutes, I guess your air fryer cook fast.

1 year ago I shifted the diet of me and my family in a healthier way. The air fryer helped me to achieve that. I used less oil, but still made delicious food. I never tried Taro Root Fries but I can't wait to try, It looks delicious.
