In a large bowl, add 1 cup of water and set aside. Peel and cut the yuca into even size batons, then place the batons in the bowl of water. Set aside. Bring 2 cups of water to boil. Next, drain the yuca batons from the water bowl, and boil for 5 minutes. Transfer the yuca into a dry bowl, add oil, salt and pepper, and the remaining seasonings.

Preheat the air fryer (if necessary) and “fry” the yuca for no more than 15 minutes on 380°. Don’t overcrowd the fryer as you want the fries to have room to cook evenly. Be mindful cooking time will depend and vary on the thickness of your fries. My mid- sized yuca fries take about 15 minutes. Check them as necessary for desired crispiness. Serve with organic ketchup or preffered sauce. Enjoy.
