These Baked Yuca Fries With Fresh Tomato Garlic Salsa are a perfect Paleo, gluten-free, and Whole30-friendly snack or side dish. The yuca fries are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the fresh salsa adds a burst of flavor to every bite.
Ingredients: 2 large yuca roots, peeled and cut into fries. 2 tablespoons olive oil. 1 teaspoon paprika. 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder. Salt and pepper to taste. 4 ripe tomatoes, diced. 3 cloves garlic, minced. 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped. 1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped. Juice of 1 lime. Salt and pepper to taste.
Instructions: Preheat your oven to 425F 220C. In a large mixing bowl, toss the yuca fries with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until evenly coated. Spread the yuca fries out on a baking sheet in a single layer, ensuring they are not crowded. Bake for 30-35 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy. While the yuca fries are baking, prepare the fresh tomato garlic salsa. In another bowl, combine the diced tomatoes, minced garlic, chopped cilantro, red onion, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Mix well and let it sit for the flavors to meld. Once the yuca fries are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly. Serve the baked yuca fries with the fresh tomato garlic salsa on the side as a delicious Paleo, gluten-free, and Whole30-friendly snack or side dish. Enjoy!
