    Now air fry tapioca slices at 360 F or 180 C for 8 minutes or till cooked.

    Remember they crisp up when resting.

    Do shake once in the middle during air frying.

    Enjoy these tasty crispy guilt free in the evening.

    Deep Frying

    Heat oil in a wok or pan. You can use any vegetable oil of choice.

    Add the slices gently from the side and deep fry for a minute or two till cooked and crispy.

    Take out on a paper towel to remove excess oil. Serve yucca chips hot.

    Pro-Tips:

    1. Cut even sized tapioca slices for even cooking results.
    2. You can use the same recipe for deep frying in oil as well.
    3. This is a vegan recipe and low calorie.
    4. You can vary the seasoning as per your like. You can add garlic powder or pepper too.
    5. You can also bake the fries if you don’t have an Air fryer.
    6. Keep an eye on the fries from 6 minutes onwards. Don’t let them get too brown or burned.
    7. Don’t crowd your Air fryer too much. A bit of overlapping of fries while layering is fine.
    8. The fries will crisp up when rested.

        Hi Sonia, I can weigh it next time when I make it. As a guess, I would say about 300 gm.
