    Yuca Asada or Roasted Cassava

    I love yuca and in Colombia yuca is one of the most popular vegetables. We incorporate this vegetable into a lot of our recipes and it is one of the most popular side dishes. Yuca is used in Colombia in many ways comparable to how potatoes are used in the United States. Roasted yuca or Yuca Asada is a healthier variation of the Fried Yuca

      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!

      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 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.

      This is a great recipe. I am from Brazil and never thought I could roast the yucca with the same great flavor as fried yucca we serve as a side dish for barbecue. I'm so pleased and I have been making this recipe over and over. Thank you for sharing!
