COCONUT CRUSTED TARO FRIES 
1 large Taro root (or Kalo, in Hawaiian)
1 tbsp. coconut oil, melted
2 tbsp. coconut milk
1 tbsp. coconut flakes
pinch of Himalayan salt

Preheat oven to 400°F. Peel the Taro root and slice it into thin strips.

In a plate combine coconut oil, milk and salt and toss the taro strips in the mixture.

Note: It might seem like there is too much liquid, but Taro tends to get really dry so this amount is necessary.

Place the taro strips on a cookie sheet, sprinkle the coconut flakes on top and mix well with your hands.

Bake at 400°F for 15 minutes. Turn the taro fries over and bake for an additional 15 minutes or until the coconut coating starts to become golden and crispy.

Serve as a delicious snack or a salad accompaniment.
