Ingredients

• Cattail roots - 200 grams
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Sea salt - 1 teaspoon
• Garlic powder - 1/2 teaspoon
• Paprika - 1/2 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon

Steps

1. Wash the cattail roots thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt or debris.
2. Peel the cattail roots using a vegetable peeler to remove the outer skin.
3. Slice the peeled cattail roots thinly into chips, approximately 2-3 mm thick.
