Caribbean Yuca (Cassava) Fries
Jan 04, 2025 12:23 PM
Sure, you've eaten french fries, sweet potato fries, and maybe even plantain fries, but there's one more crispy side dish you should add to your fry rotation: yuca fries. Also called cassava fries, these tasty little bites are made from yuca (a.k.a. cassava), a starchy root often used in Latin American and Caribbean cuisines.
Turning yuca into homemade fries that are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside is easy. Deep-frying accentuates yuca's slightly sweet, nutty flavor. It's similar in texture and taste to potato fries, but sweeter and more flavorful. You'll be hooked after the first taste.
Ingredients:
- 2 pounds yuca (cassava)
- Kosher salt, to taste
- Vegetable oil, or another neutral oil (e.g., canola), for deep-frying
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Prep Time:
15 minutes
Cook Time:
35 minutes
Total Time:
50 minutes
