Ingredients
- 3 yuca root or frozen
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon oregano dried
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 lime fresh
Instructions
- Peel and Cut: Wash and dry the yuca. Then cut the ends off and halve the yuca root (if it's very long, cut it into thirds). Peel off the tough skin using a knife or peeler, leaving only the fibrous white flesh. Discard any pieces with black veins. If using frozen yuca, skip this step and follow the package instructions.
- Boil: Boil yuca in salted water for 25 minutes until fork-tender. Avoid overboiling.
- Cool: Remove yuca and cool on a rack until handleable. Avoid using a plate or hard surface, as this can cause the yuca to become soggy.
- Cut: Halve yuca lengthwise, remove the fibrous string, and cut into fry-sized pieces.
- Season: Gently toss the yuca pieces in a bowl with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, paprika, and salt, and the juice from half a lime.
- Air Fryer Version: Preheat to 375°F. Place yuca fries in the basket in a single layer. Air fry for 7-8 minutes until golden brown and crispy.Oven Version: Preheat to 400°F. Place yuca fries on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for 15 minutes until golden brown.
- Serve: Before serving, feel free to add a bit more salt and fresh lime juice, then serve with your favorite dipping sauce.
Notes
- Frozen Yuca*: If using frozen Yuca, check the package instructions to see if they are pre-boiled. If they are skip to step 4, otherwise skip to step 2 as you will not need to peel them.
- Storage: Leftover yuca fries can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. They can then be reheated in the air fryer or oven to regain their crispy texture.
- Recipe Tip: For the crispiest results, ensure the yuca fries are well-coated in oil and spaced out in the air fryer basket. Avoid overcrowding to let them cook evenly and get that perfect texture.
