There’s one dish thatCamila Alves McConaugheymakes that she can barely keep in the house.
The mother of three posted a playful Instagram video on Monday of one of her sons Levi, 13, and husbandMatthew McConaugheytaste-testing her yuca fries, which she posted in honor of Kid Healthy Week. (Along with Levi, Camila and Matthew share son Livingston, 9, and daughter Vida, 12.)
“My little one’s LOVE when I make yuca fries for them,” she wrote in the caption.
The clip started with Camila holding a brown plate that had few yuca fries left on it. Levi buzzed around in the background of the video and grabbed one to enjoy.
“Look at this guys. The plate is pretty much gone,” she said, gesturing to the plate.
While viewers can’t see Matthew in the video, you can hear how much he loved his wife’s tasty side dish. His hand made a cameo in the video as he snagged the last crispy treat from the plate.
“French fries don’t have anything on this!” he said. In the background, the Academy Award-winner made hilarious “yum yum yum” sounds before asking: “Can I have this as a main course please?”
The three-ingredient recipe, posted on Camila’sWomen of Todaysite, was clearly a win.
“See? It’s a hit at my household,” she added, shrugging at the camera. “Maybe at yours too.”
Once again, Matthew interrupted the recipe feature to add his stamp of approval: “Can you make some more please!” he said.
To try the dish yourself, which is popular in Camila’s native Brazil, all you need is whola yucas, avocado oil (or any high heat oil) and sea salt. Camila simply parboils the root vegetable, then slices them and fries them in oil before sprinkling with salt while they’re still hot. (Get the full recipe onWomen of Today.)
The model isn’t just encouraging healthy eating habits in her own home. In March, she released her first book,Just Try One Bite, which ironically depicts children confronting their picky-eater parents. For the book, she teamed up withGo the F**k to Sleepauthor, Adam Mansbach.
“It’s all about balance,” Alves McConaugheytold PEOPLE in November. “If parents take the time to talk to their children about healthy eating then they will grow up to be adults with healthier habits. And having conversations about balance allows for an open dialogue between parents and children.”
