Ingredients

  • 1 pound yuca, peeled and cut into 3-inch sections (or 1 pound frozen and peeled yuca)

Directions

  • Place the yuca in a pot with enough cold water to cover it by one inch. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, and cook for 30 minutes or until tender.

  • Preheat an oven to 350°F.

  • Using a slotted spoon, transfer the yuca to a cutting board and let it cool.

  • Cut the yuca lengthwise into 3/4-inch wedges. Discard the woody core.

  • Spray a cookie sheet with the vegetable oil spray. Spread the yuca wedges in a single layer on the cookie sheet and spray with nonstick vegetable oil spray.
