Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Cassava

    Peel the cassava and cut it into wedges. Make sure to remove the hard core as well.

  2. 2

    Boil the Cassava

    In a pot of boiling water, add the cassava wedges and cook for about 10-15 minutes until they are fork-tender. Drain and let them cool.

  3. 3

    Heat the Oil

    In a large frying pan or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

  4. 4

    Fry the Cassava

    Carefully add the boiled cassava wedges to the hot oil in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry for about 5-7 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.

  5. 5

    Season and Serve

    Remove the fries from the oil and drain on paper towels. While still hot, sprinkle with the suya spice blend and salt. Serve immediately.
