1 pound fresh yucca (cassava), cut into 3-inch sections and
peeled (or 1 pound peeled frozen yucca)

Nonstick cooking oil spray

1. 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.

2. Preheat oven to 350øF.

3. 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.

4. 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.
