WOW, thanks so much!
I come from Italy and discovered the colombian food in Spain. My friends mom from Colombia came to visit in Spain and cooked such a delicious food!
I really wanted to learn to cook some nice colombian food.Your website is great, so are the recipes.
I am about to cook this delicious yuca, that I am sure it will turn just great seeing all the great comments and of course the great picture!

I just signed up for the email updates and I may be in trouble as all the recipes I’ve seen I want to try – they’re a great excuse to take advantage of all the wonderful produce I see in the markets. I have a Columbian friend who I’ll need to share your blog with. She claims not to cook, but I am sure she’ll appreciate seeing all the food she grew up with.

Allison, Frozen yuca is great……it comes already peeled!

I love roasted yuca. I’ve never had it frozen though – does it come already peeled? I find that the most annoying part of dealing with fresh yuca is boiling and peeling it. I also never added the lime juice – but definitely will next time I make it (which will be soon!)

I’ve mostly had yuca steamed with a garlicky mojo sauce over it; occasionally, fried like potatoes but never roasted and I am sure this would be my preferred method. I also like that you ‘fessed up’ to using the frozen product rather than trying to get through all that scary tough skin!

My mom always steam yuca and I love it. I never thought you can roasted. Thanks for the recipe!
