Fried Yuca Fries

Let's Begin!

• Begin by preparing the cassava roots. Peel and devein them, then cut them into thick strips, approximately 3 inches long.
• In a large pot, bring water to a boil. Add the prepared cassava strips and boil for about 25 minutes, or until they are tender. Once cooked, drain the cassava strips and pat them dry with paper towels.
• In a deep skillet or frying pan, heat avocado oil over medium-high heat until it reaches a temperature of about 350°F (175°C).
• Carefully add the cassava strips to the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry them in batches if necessary to maintain an even cooking temperature.
• Fry the cassava strips until they turn golden brown and develop a crispy exterior, which usually takes about 5-7 minutes, remembering to turn them halfway through for even cooking.
• Using a slotted spoon, remove the fried cassava strips from the oil and transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
• Season the fried cassava with salt to taste immediately after removing them from the oil.
• Serve the fried yuca hot and enjoy them as a delicious snack or side dish.
