Cooking Instructions

1. Prepare the Yuca

Peel the yuca and cut it into thick strips, about 1 inch wide.

2. Boil the Yuca

In a large pot, bring water to a boil. Add the yuca strips and cook for about 20-25 minutes until tender. Drain and let them cool.

3. Heat the Oil

In a deep skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until hot.

4. Fry the Yuca

Fry the boiled yuca strips in batches for about 5-7 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Remove from oil and drain on paper towels.

5. Season and Serve

Sprinkle the fried yuca with salt, garlic powder, and paprika. Serve hot as a snack or side dish.
