Yuca Fries with Mojo Dip (Egg-Free)

Ingredients

• 2 lb Yuca
• 2 tbsp Olive oil
• 1 tsp Salt
• 4 cloves Garlic
• 1/4 cup Orange juice
• 1/4 cup Lime juice
• 1 tsp Oregano
• 1/4 cup Olive oil

Instructions

1. 1Carefully peel the 2 lb of yuca. Cut the peeled yuca into uniform 1/2-inch thick sticks.
2. 2In a large heavy-bottomed pot, add enough water to cover the yuca sticks. Bring the water to a rolling boil over high heat, then carefully add the cut yuca sticks. Boil for 15 minutes, or until the yuca sticks are tender when pierced with a fork but still hold their shape. Carefully drain the boiled yuca sticks in a colander.
3. 3Transfer the drained yuca sticks to a large bowl. Add the 2 tbsp of olive oil and the 1 tsp of salt, then gently toss to coat the yuca sticks evenly.
4. 4Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C). Arrange the coated yuca sticks in a single layer in the air fryer basket, working in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding. Air fry for 15 to 20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through cooking, until the yuca sticks are golden brown and crispy.
5. 5While the yuca sticks are air frying, prepare the mojo dip. Peel and finely mince the 4 cloves of garlic. In a small bowl, combine the finely minced 4 cloves of garlic, the 1/4 cup of orange juice, the 1/4 cup of lime juice, the 1 tsp of oregano, and the 1/4 cup of olive oil. Stir well to combine all ingredients for the dip.
6. 6Transfer the crispy yuca sticks to a serving platter. Serve immediately with the prepared mojo dip on the side.
