Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
-
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.
-
In a large bowl, toss the cassava pieces with olive oil, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
-
Spread the seasoned cassava pieces in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
-
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.
-
While the cassava is roasting, zest and juice the lime.
-
Once the cassava is done, remove it from the oven and immediately drizzle with the lime juice. Sprinkle the lime zest over the top.
-
Transfer the roasted cassava to a serving platter and garnish with chopped fresh parsley.
-
Serve hot as a side dish alongside Caribbean-inspired main courses or grilled meats and seafood.
