Cajun Yucca Fries
This recipe calls for Yucca (aka cassava) which is baked into healthy, delicious fries.
Ingredients
- 2 yucca roots
- 2 tsp Cajun seasoning
- 1 lime
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
Instructions
- Bring a pot of water to boil and preheat oven to 450 degrees. Meanwhile, use a sturdy vegetable peeler to peel the yucca and use a sharp knife to cut yucca into fry-shaped wedges or strips.
- Carefully place fries into boiling water, letting them boil for 10 minutes or until the edges start to come apart. At this point, remove fries from water and dry with a kitchen towel.
- Once dried, place fries into a large bowl, adding some olive oil, salt/pepper, and Cajun seasoning. Transfer fries to a baking sheet and bake for 30 minutes, flipping them over halfway through.
- Once golden, remove from oven and sprinkle over the juice of a lime. Serve warm.
Notes
We like to dip our fries in our version of spicy mayo (equal parts Greek yogurt and sriracha sauce).
Fun fact: Yucca (aka yuca aka cassava) is what tapioca is made from!
