Ingredients
- 1 lb frozen yuca ((455g))
- ΒΌ cup olive oil ((60ml))
- 2Β½ tbsp cajun seasoning ((17.5g))
- 1 tbsp parsley ((4g))
- pink salt to taste
Method
- Bring a large saucepan of water to the boil.
- Carefully add the frozen chunks of yuca to the pan.
- Boil for several minutes until the yuca is slightly fork tender (you don't want the yuca to be too soft).
- Drain off the water using a colander and allow to cool.
- Cut the yuca chunks into thinner fries or the shape that you desire.
- Preheat the air fryer to 190C/380F.
- Meanwhile, add the olive oil, cajun seasoning and parsley to a small bowl.
- Add the yuca to a medium sized bowl.
- Drizzle the oil mixture over the bowl of yuca fries and use your hands to completely coat the fries.
- Lay the fries out on the air fryer basket (you may need to do this in batches).
- Air fry the fries for roughly 15 minutes (tossing the basket, frequently to ensure the fries are evenly golden.
- Once the fries are crispy, re-sprinkle with some more cajun seasoning for an extra kick and pink salt and eat while warm.
