Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

  2. Peel the tough, waxy skin off the cassava root using a sharp knife or vegetable peeler. Cut the cassava into bite-sized pieces, making sure to remove any fibrous core.

  3. In a large bowl, toss the cassava pieces with olive oil, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.

  4. Spread the seasoned cassava pieces in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.

  5. Roast the cassava in the preheated oven for 30-40 minutes, or until golden brown and fork-tender. Flip the pieces halfway through cooking for even browning.

  6. While the cassava is roasting, zest and juice the lime.

  7. Once the cassava is done, remove it from the oven and immediately drizzle with the lime juice. Sprinkle the lime zest over the top.

  8. Transfer the roasted cassava to a serving platter and garnish with chopped fresh parsley.

  9. Serve hot as a side dish alongside Caribbean-inspired main courses or grilled meats and seafood.
