Fried Yuca Ingredients
Method
Fried Yuca Directions
Prepare the Yuca
Peel the yuca to remove the tough outer skin and cut it into 2-inch pieces.
Boil the Yuca
In a large pot, add yuca pieces and cover with water. Add salt. Bring to a boil and cook for about 20-25 minutes or until tender. Drain and let it cool slightly.
Heat the Oil
In a deep frying pan, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
Fry the Yuca
Once the oil is hot, carefully add the boiled yuca pieces. Fry until they are golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes per side.
Season and Serve
Remove the fried yuca from the oil and drain on paper towels. Sprinkle with garlic powder, paprika, and additional salt to taste. Serve warm.
