Yuca Fries (Cassava Fries)
Report
These baked yuca fries are golden and crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. A tasty and healthier way to make yuca fries, rather than frying.

Ingredients
yuca fries
- 2 yuca cassava
- 1 tbsp avocado oil
- pinch of sea salt
cilantro lime mayonnaise
- 1/2 cup packed fresh cilantro leaves
- 2 tbsp fresh lime juice
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1 garlic clove
- 1 cup mayonnaise
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees fahrenheit and bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
- Use a vegetable peeler to peel the outside waxy layer from the yuca (just as you would a potato).
- If the yuca is long, slice it in half, then slice into 1/2"-3/4" fries or batons.
- Add the fries to the boiling water and cook for 10-15 minutes, or until the edges start to fray and they're fork tender.
- Drain the fries and place in a large bowl. Drizzle them with avocado oil and sea salt and toss to coat.
- Lay the fries in a single layer on a baking tray and cook in the oven for 30-35 minutes, flipping halfway through.
- While the fries are cooking, make the cilantro lime mayonnaise. Add all of the ingredients except the mayonnaise to a small food processor and blend until finely chopped. Then add the mayonnaise and pulse a couple of times to combine.
- Serve the yuca fries immediately with the cilantro lime mayonnaise.
Notes
- Try to cut your fries into a fairly even and uniform shape. If they get thinner at the ends (like mine), the ends will crisp up first.
- The yuca should be white on the inside. If it has many brown streaks, it may be past it's prime and you'll want to discard that one.
