CRISPY Baked YUCA (Cassava) FRIES with Homemade Yogurt Ranch Dressing

Baked Yuca Fries:

Peel 2 large yuca roots and cut into desired shapes. Rinse yuca (cassava) and place in a pot with boiling salted water. Boil on medium heat until tender (about 10 minutes). Do not overcook—it will be mushy. Drain and pat dry the cooked cassava.

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place the cassava in a single layer. Coat with coconut oil, sprinkle with salt, garlic powder, a dash of black pepper and bake at 400F for 20-25 minutes or until slightly brown, flipping halfway though. Serve warm with homemade ranch dressing!

Yogurt ranch dressing:

Combine 1/2 c Siggi’s yogurt, 1 clove of minced garlic, 1 tbsp brown mustard, 1/4 tsp black pepper, 1/2 tsp paprika, dill weed, fresh chopped parsley and fresh chopped chives. Mix well and enjoy! The dressing is good for 5 days in the fridge.
