Oven-Baked Spiced Yuca Fries
After making these, you'll prove to your family and friends that you don't need a deep-fryer to make delicious crispy fries. Yukon Gold potatoes can be substituted for yuca if it's not available. Scrub the skin but do not peel these potatoes. Make extra fries because these are so good everyone will want seconds. Try them with Basic Ketchup. Makes 6 servings.


Ingredients:

1 pound yuca, peeled, or large unpeeled Yukon Gold Potatoes
1/4 teaspoon chili powder
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/4 teaspoon ground coriander


Instructions:
1. Preheat the oven to 400°F. In a mixing bowl, slice the yuca into 4-inch long by 1/4- to 1/2-inch-thick fries. Toss and coat thoroughly with the olive oil, coriander, chili powder, and salt and pepper to taste.

2. Place the yuca fries on a nonstick baking tray and bake for 10 minutes. Turn over and bake for 10 minutes more. Serve immediately.
