Roasted Cassava

1. 1

   Cut off the ends of the root. Cut or peel off all the waxed brown skin to expose just the white interior of the root. Cut the round white root into inch long segments.

2. 2

   Place these in a pot and cover with water. Add salt, chili peppers and cloves. Boil until the root softens and begins to turn translucent, about an hour.

3. 3

   Remove the cooked cassava pieces. Break them apart further and remove the central rope-like bits. Coat the cassava pieces generously with olive oil. Spread them out on a parchment lined baking sheet. Sprinkle with your choice of spices.

4. 4

   Bake in a 350 degree oven for 20 minutes. Turn the pieces over to make sure they are not drying out. Add a bit more olive oil if needed. Finish roasting for about another 10 minutes. Serve hot with garnished of scallions and cilantro.
