Jackfruit Chips is a crunchy, savory Indian snack seasoned with aromatic spices, perfect for tea time. This addictive vegetarian nibble is a family pantry staple and a crowd-pleaser at gatherings.
Carefully separate jackfruit bulbs from the fruit and remove seeds; slice each bulb thinly to get uniform chips.
In a large bowl, toss the jackfruit slices with turmeric powder to coat evenly.
Heat vegetable oil in a deep, heavy-bottomed pan over medium-high heat until it reaches about 350°F (test with a small slice—it should sizzle immediately).
Fry jackfruit slices in batches; do not overcrowd the pan. Stir occasionally for even crisping, about 3–4 minutes per batch.
Using a slotted spoon, remove chips once golden and crisp; drain on paper towels, then season immediately with salt and black pepper while still hot.
