Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Slice one medium taro root paper-thin using a mandoline. Toss slices in 2 tablespoons olive oil, sea salt, smoked paprika, and dried oregano. Arrange in a single layer on parchment-lined baking sheets. Bake 15–20 minutes, flipping halfway, until edges curl and turn golden. Cool completely for maximum crisp. These fiber-packed chips satisfy crunch cravings while delivering sustained energy—perfect for movie nights or lunchbox surprises.
Immunity-Boosting Taro Vegetable Soup 🥄
Dice 1 cup taro, 1 carrot, 1 celery stalk, and mince 2 garlic cloves. Sauté garlic in a splash of olive oil until fragrant. Add vegetables and 4 cups low-sodium vegetable broth. Simmer 20 minutes until taro softens. Stir in 1 cup coconut milk for creaminess, then blend half the soup for thicker texture (optional). Season with salt, pepper, and a squeeze of lime. Each bowl delivers warmth, hydration, and a vitamin arsenal to fend off seasonal threats.
