baked yuca fries

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.

Yuca Fries (Cassava Fries)

yuca (cassava)

avocado oil

sea salt

cilantro leaves

lime juice

Dijon mustard

garlic

mayonnaise

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.

Change up your typical potato side with these Crispy Baked Yuca Fries! They're crispy on the outside, soft on the inside with a kick of spice. No frying and just a tablespoon of olive oil in the whole recipe!

Sounds yummy!  Has anyone tried in the air fryer vs the oven?  I use my air fryer for potatoes to cut down on cook time, but also to keep my kitchen from getting so hot.  Is it necessary to boil them first?
