Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 °F.
2. In a pot, combine the yuca with enough cold water to cover it by 1 inch. Bring the water to a boil, and slowly simmer the yuca for 20 to 30 minutes, or until it is fork tender.
3. Drain the yuca and pat dry with paper towels. Let it cool and cut it lengthwise into 3/4-inch wide wedges, discarding the thin woody core.
4. Place dried yuca into a large bowl and toss with oil. Season with salt and pepper as desired. Toss again to evenly coat. Place yuca on a large baking sheet in an even layer.
5. Bake until golden and crispy, about 15 minutes, tossing halfway through.
6. Serve right away as a side dish or as a snack with your favorite dip.
