Transfer the yucca root wedges to a large bowl of water and soak for five minutes, then drain. This step helps to remove excess toxins and starch and will yield crispier fries.
Drain the water well (you could pat the sticks dry with a kitchen towel, too), then add them to a bowl along with the seasonings and oil. Toss to combine until well coated.
Transfer the fries to your air fryer basket in a single layer (cook in batches if necessary). Cook at 380 °F (190 °C) for about 15-18 minutes, until golden brown and crispy.
These yuca fries are crispy on the outside with a creamy, subtly sweet, and nutty middle.They’re perfect for enjoying as an appetizer, snack, or side dish!
