Oven-fried Yucca
Oven-fried Yucca
What you need:
- 1 pound fresh yucca (cassava), cut into 3-inch sections and peeled
- Non-stick oil cooking spray
What you do:
- In a kettle, combine the yucca with enough cold water to cover it by 1 inch. Bring the water to a boil, and slowly simmer the yucca for 20 to 30 minutes, or until it is tender.
- Preheat oven to 350
- Transfer the yucca with a slotted spoon to a cutting board, let it cool, and cut it lengthwise into 3/4-inch-wide wedges, discarding the thin woody core.
- Spray cookie sheet with the nonstick cooking oil spray.
Spread yucca wedges on cookie sheet, and spray wedges with cooking oil spray. Cover with foil paper and bake for 8 minutes. Uncover and return to oven to bake for an additional 7 minutes.
Enjoy!
