Remove any center vines or spines from the yuca.

Cut the yuca into fry-sized pieces, ensuring even thickness.

Place the yuca pieces in a bowl and add 2 teaspoons of olive oil, 1/4 teaspoon of salt, 1/4 teaspoon of Goya's adobo seasoning, 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne powder.

Mix the yuca pieces until evenly coated with the seasoning.

Arrange the yuca fries in a single layer in the air fryer basket.

Air fry at 380°F for about 10 minutes until crispy.
