Let's Have Some Chips! Here's how
Ingredients:
- 1 cup arrowroot starch
- 1/2 cup water
- Salt to taste
- Vegetable oil for frying
Instructions:
- In a mixing bowl, combine the arrowroot starch and water. Mix well until a smooth dough forms.
- Place the dough on a flat surface lined with parchment paper or plastic wrap. Use a rolling pin to roll out the dough into a thin, even sheet.
- Use a sharp knife or a pizza cutter to cut the rolled-out dough into small squares or desired shapes.
- Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or a large pot to 350ยฐF (175ยฐC).
- Carefully add the cut dough pieces to the hot oil in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the fryer or pot.
- Fry the araro chips for 2-3 minutes or until they turn golden brown and crispy.
- Use a slotted spoon or tongs to remove the fried chips from the oil and transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- Sprinkle the hot chips with salt to taste while they're still warm.
- Repeat the frying process with the remaining dough until all the chips are cooked.
- Allow the araro chips to cool completely before serving.
