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.
