Addictive crispy yuca with cilantro-lime relish

Aaand I'm back from vacation!

Hi friends,

It’s been over two weeks since I last wrote you, which means I’m back from vacation! My annual Cape Cod retreat was absolutely epic. I didn’t realize how badly I needed a break until I got one and truly haven’t felt this relaxed in a long time. I’ll share more from the trip later, but in the meantime, I just hit ‘publish’ on this recipe that I photographed right before leaving.

If, like me, you’ve found yourself in love with yuca after trying it in a Latin restaurant and now want to experiment with cooking it at home, the air fryer is your best friend. Air fried yuca gives you the vibe of deep-fried yuca, but with way less mess, minimal oil, and a short cook time.

This air fryer recipe results in yuca that’s fluffy on the inside (like a baked potato) and crispy on the outside (like a French fry). The garlicky cilantro-lime relish complements the starchy vegetable perfectly. Serve this as a side dish – say, instead of potatoes – alongside almost anything…

P.S. Wanna bookmark this recipe for later? Save it on Pinterest.
