First time cooking with cassava/yuca root, and I had to adjust. First, my parchment paper is only rated for an oven up to 425 degrees, so I decreased the temperature to 420 degrees to feel safer. Next, I had only a single one, so the seasoning measurements were estimated. I boiled it for ten minutes for tenderness, and then I thought maybe I’d over-boiled it. But, the fries came out just fine at 30 minutes. Delicious! No condiments were needed.
This is my first time ever cooking with Yuca and wow this recipe turned out delicious! Can’t wait to make this again!
