3 cups canola oil

1 tablespoon fine sea salt

1 teaspoon black pepper

1 teaspoon paprika

1 teaspoon cayenne pepper

2 pounds fresh yucca

1 lime zested

In medium Dutch oven heat oil to 350 degrees F.

Place all spices in mixing bowl, and combine thoroughly.

Peel yucca tubes with heavy-duty vegetable peeler until bark is completely removed. Cut yucca into strips- 1/4-inch wide, 4 inches long.

Add yucca into oil and fry until golden brown. With a slotted spoon remove the yucca from the oil and drain on paper towels.

Season hot yucca fries with spice mixture and lime zest and serve on a warm paper-towel-lined platter.
