Air Fryer Instructions

Place prepared cassava chips into a bowl of cold water and allow it to sit for 15-30 minutes.
Drain and add to a pot of boiling water, cook for about 10-15 minutes, until fork tender.
Preheat the air fryer to 350 degrees F / 180 C.
Drain the chips and pat dry with kitchen paper towel.
Add the cooked cassava chips to a bowl with remaining ingredients. Stir to coat well.
Transfer the chips to the preheated air fryer basket in an even layer without touching. You may need to cook in several batches depending on size of chips and amount.
Cook in the air fryer for 10-15 minutes or until golden and crunchy.
Repeat with remaining raw chips.
Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.

Oven Instructions

Cut, soak, boil and drain your yuca chips.
Season the fries with your spice mixture and place yuca in a single layer on a baking sheet sprayed with olive oil cooking spray or lined with parchment paper.
Preheat your oven to 425 degrees F. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until lightly golden brown.
Toss the yuca fries 1-2 times during baking to ensure all the sides get cooked evenly. Enjoy immediately.

Deep Frying Instructions

Cut, soak, boil and drain your cassava chips, but don't toss them with the spice mixture yet.
Heat 1-2 cups of oil in a large pot or a wok. Heat to medium heat.
Add the yuca to the hot oil. Deep fry the chips until they're cooked through and crispy on the outside -- about 2-3 minutes for each batch.
Remove and drain on a plate covered with paper towels. Toss with spices. Enjoy immediately.
