yacho fries
Are they fries, nachos, or maybe even a salad? Call it what you want, but these yacho fries are freakin' delicious!
Servings 2
Ingredients
- 1 yuca root, peeled and cut into sticks
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
- ¼ teaspoon cumin
- ¼ teaspoon paprika
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- sea salt and ground black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450°F.
- Toss the fries in a large bowl with the spices.
- Bake on a parchment lined baking sheet for approximately 20 to 25 minutes or until golden on the outside, flipping once.
- While the fries are baking, you can make the cheese sauce from this recipe and replace the potatoes and carrots with sweet potatoes, if you like. Over cooking the yuca will make it really tough and crunchy so keep an eye on the fries. It will be a similar texture to microwaving a potato for too long and the bottom gets really crispy. It's not necessarily a bad thing!
- Top warm fries with nacho cheese sauce and other toppings of your choice like shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, green onion, diced avocado, cilantro and lime juice.
