Cassava, or tavioka, is one of Fiji’s most important staple crops, and turning it into crispy chips is a favorite island pastime. Market vendors across Fiji fry them by the bagful, and the aroma of hot tavioka chips is part of the fabric of any Fijian town.
What makes it great: cassava chips have a uniquely light, shattery crunch and a mild nutty flavor that makes them dangerously moreish. A squeeze of lime and a dusting of chili salt turn a humble root vegetable into the perfect snack.
