YUCA FRITTERS (AREPITAS DE YUCA) RECIPE BY TASTY
One of our favorite ways to enjoy yuca is when it's fried. Crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, these fritters make for a fun and easy appetizer. Just be sure to use a sharp knife when cutting and slicing the yuca. So kiss your fries goodbye (for now), and give these fritters a try!

Steps:
- Using a sharp knife, stand each piece upright and carefully slice off the skin.
- Grate the yuca on the small holes of a box grater.
- Add the grated yuca to a large bowl, along with the softened butter, egg, sugar, anise seeds, and salt. Mix until thoroughly combined.
- In a high-walled skillet, heat the canola oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.
- Working in batches, scoop 2 tablespoons of the yuca mixture at a time into your hand and gently press into a ½-inch (1 ¼ cm)-thick fritter. Place on the edge of a metal spatula and carefully lower into the hot oil. Fry the fritters for about 2 minutes on each side, until golden brown. Transfer the fritters to a plate lined with paper towels to drain. Sprinkle lightly with salt.
- Serve the fritters warm.
- Enjoy!
