Taro is a root vegetable native to Southeast Asia. This plant is inedible when raw due to the high amounts of calcium oxalate which can lead to kidney stones. However, if cooked thoroughly, it makes for a high fiber low fat snack. My mom makes taro all the time at home by simply boiling it. Sometimes, she will shred taro and pan sear with with shrimp like hash browns. I make taro chips.

Ingredients
Taro
Salt
Pam Spray (or equivalent)

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F
2. Wash, peel and slice taro to desired size
3. Spray baking sheet and taro with oil then lightly salt
4. Bake on one side for 15 minutes, flip over and bake for another 15 minutes

    Sounds interesting! Can you get Taro at the typical supermarket produce section?

    Asian supermarkets usually carry it. I haven't seen them at any local supermarkets.
