Ingredients

• 3 cups canola oil
• 1 tablespoon fine sea salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 2 pounds fresh yucca
• 1 lime zested

Preparation

Step 1

In medium Dutch oven heat oil to 350 degrees F.

Place all spices in mixing bowl, and combine thoroughly.

Peel yucca tubes with heavy-duty vegetable peeler until bark is completely removed. Cut yucca into strips: 1/4-inch wide, 4 inches long. Add yucca into oil and fry until golden brown. With a slotted spoon remove the yucca from the oil and drain on paper towels.

Season hot yucca fries with spice mixture and lime zest and serve on a warm paper-towel-lined platter.
