Ingredients
- 2 medium cassava (yuca) root
- 1 cup almond flour
- 0.25 cup coconut flour
- 1 large egg
- 0.5 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 cup avocado oil
Directions
Step 1
Peel the cassava roots and cut them into 2-inch thick sticks.
Step 2
Place the cassava sticks in a pot of water. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat, and simmer for about 10 minutes until slightly tender. Drain and let cool.
Step 3
In a shallow bowl, mix together almond flour, coconut flour, salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder.
Step 4
In another bowl, whisk the egg with unsweetened almond milk until well combined.
Step 5
Dip each cassava stick into the egg mixture and then coat it with the flour mixture. Ensure each piece is well coated.
Step 6
Heat the avocado oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
Step 7
Once the oil is hot, fry the coated cassava in batches for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden and crispy.
Step 8
Use a slotted spoon to remove the cassava sticks from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Step 9
Serve the crispy fried cassava warm and enjoy as a keto-friendly snack or side dish.
