Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Using a sharp knife, cut ends of yuca off. Then you can cut in half (two larger pieces = larger fries) or three round pieces (=smaller fries). This will not affect the cooking times.
1
Using a sturdy peeler remove all the brown waxy yuca skin. Grab your knife again and cut the yuca in half and each half into 3-4 thinner pieces to resemble ‘fries’. Do this with the remaining yuca.
2
Give the yuca a quick rinse and add to the boiling water for 10 minutes. Pre-heat oven to 450F degrees at this time. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside
3
Using a rubber spatula remove yucca from water and place on a paper towel or baking sheet with rack to drip excess water.
4
Transfer yuca to prepared sheet and sprinkle yuca with sea salt and chili powder.
5
Bake for 30 minutes, turning yucca half way through. Store leftover yuca in an air tight/ zipper bag. Pan fry with coconut oil to re-heat
