Ingredients
- 2 large roots yucca (cassava)
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 2 tablespoons parsley (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Peel the yucca roots by cutting off both ends and slicing them into manageable pieces. Use a knife to remove the thick skin.
Step 3
Cut the peeled yucca into fry-sized sticks, approximately 1/4 inch thick.
Step 4
Place the yucca sticks into a pot, fill with water, and bring to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat and let simmer for about 10 minutes or until the yucca is just tender but not falling apart.
Step 5
Drain the yucca and pat dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
Step 6
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
Step 7
Add the yucca fries to the mixing bowl and toss until well-coated with the seasoned oil.
Step 8
Arrange the coated yucca sticks in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not crowded or overlapping.
Step 9
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, then flip the fries and bake for an additional 20 minutes or until the fries are golden brown and crispy.
Step 10
Remove from oven and let cool slightly. If desired, sprinkle with fresh parsley for garnish before serving.
