Coconut-Crusted Taro Fries image

Ever heard of baked taro fries? To all the AIP-eaters, nightshade-intolerants, and healthy fries-lovers, this recipe is a total game changer! Yams are great to replace normal potatoes, but when you get tired of that sweet taste and want something a bit more starchy, taro is a great, more exotic alternative. Taro is a delicious root vegetable I learned to love while I was living in Macau. One of my favorite things to do when I was there was to go to the Chinese supermarket and try to understand what all those weird fruits and vegetables were (yes, the labels were only in Chinese!). Serve as a delicious snack or a salad accompaniment.

The fries were good, but I think they would have been better if I had used a different type of oil.

I thought the coconut crust was a bit overpowering, but the taro itself was delicious.

These fries were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still good.

I followed the recipe exactly and the fries turned out great. The only thing I would change is to add a little more salt to the coconut crust.

I've never had taro fries before, but these were amazing. The coconut crust was crispy and flavorful, and the taro inside was soft and fluffy.
