Crunchy Yuca Fries with Chipotle Cashew Sauce
This recipe reminds me of Costa Rica. I enjoyed yuca fries almost every day for a week. It took me a few tries to fall in love, but now there is no turning back. Yuca fries will be on my house menu. I also made a delicious chipotle cashew sauce that you can use to rock with these crunchy fries. TIP: I swap vegan mayo for cashews and enjoy the creamy, nutty flavor it brings to sauces.
