Cassava and plantain chips

By Khanya Mzongwana

Serves 4

Difficulty Easy

Prep Time 25 minutes

Cooking Time 15 minutes

Ingredients

200 g cassava root, peeled and cut into thick chips
2 plantains, peeled and cut into thick chips
oil, for frying
mayonnaise, for dipping

For the boerewors spice, mix:

1 t ground coriander
1⁄2 t ground allspice
1⁄2 t ground nutmeg
sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1 t dried mixed herbs
1 t Spanish smoked paprika
1 t brown sugar

Method

1. Cut away any woody bits from the cassava until you just have the crunchy
middle of the root. Boil in salted water for 20 minutes, or until the chips are cooked through but still firm.

2. Heat the oil in a saucepan and fry the cassava and plantain until golden brown and crispy, about 5 minutes on a medium-high heat.

3. Generously sprinkle the boerewors spice onto the chips and serve with the mayonnaise or other dipping sauce.
