Ingredients
- 3 pounds yuca root
- 2 Tablespoons neutral oil
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Sauce
- 1/4 cup mayo
- 1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 tsp paprika
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425 Fahrenheit and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil while you chop your yuca. Cut the ends off the yuca root, then use a vegetable peeler to peel off the skin. It comes off far easier than it looks like it will, but you’ll likely need to make two passes over each area to ensure the skin is fully removed.
- If the yuca is on the long side, cut it in half, then cut it into fry or wedge shapes.
- Boil for 10 minutes. You want the yuca to be tender enough to poke with a form, but not too soft.
- Drain and pat dry.
- Add to a bowl and toss with the oil, salt, paprika, and garlic powder.
- Arrange on the baking sheet and bake for 30 minutes (or until golden brown and crispy).
- Meanwhile, mix up your sauce ingredients.
- When the fries are done, serve with the sauce, and enjoy!
