  • About

These fried yuca* sticks are served in many of the restaurants that serve braised meats, chorizos, and empanadas. They make great party snacks to serve along with sausages and salsa (see Salsas and Sauces).

Ingredients

  • 1 pound peeled yuca*, fresh or frozen
  • 1 tablespoon salt

Method

  1. If using fresh yuca, quarter it lengthwise. (Frozen yuca is already cut into chunks.) Cut each piece of yuca lengthwise into ½-inch sticks, or into ¼-inch sticks if you like more toasted, crispier sticks.
  2. Place the yuca in a medium pot with 6 cups of water. Cover, bring to a boil and cook until fork tender, about 20 minutes. Drain well and dry with paper towels
