How to prepare yucca sticks

To prepare these delicious yuca sticks, you will need:

Ingredients:

  • 1 large piece of cassava cooked with salt
  • 2 tablespoons oat flour
  • 2 tablespoons parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon green herbs (optional)

Procedure:

  1. Prepare the Yucca:
    • Start by peeling and cutting the cassava into large pieces. Cook the cassava in salted water until soft, approximately 20-25 minutes. Drain well and let cool.
  2. Make the Puree:
    • Once cold, mash the cooked cassava until you obtain a smooth puree. You can use a fork, potato masher, or even a food processor to make this step easier.
  3. Mix Ingredients:
    • In a large bowl, mix the cassava puree with the 2 tablespoons of oat flour and the 2 tablespoons of grated Parmesan cheese. If you want to add an extra touch of flavor and freshness, add a tablespoon of chopped green herbs, such as parsley, cilantro or basil.
  4. Form the sticks or balls:
    • With your hands, take small portions of the mixture and form sticks and balls of the size you prefer. Make sure to compact them well so they keep their shape.
  5. Bake:
    • Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Place the sticks or balls on a baking sheet covered with parchment paper or lightly greased. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden and crispy on the outside.
    • Let cool slightly before serving. These cassava balls are perfect as a healthy appetizer, side dish or even as a snack. Enjoy a nutritious and delicious option without guilt!

Additional Tips:

  • You can accompany these balls with a yogurt and herb sauce for an extra touch of flavor.
  • If you prefer a crispier result, you can give them a quick pass through a non-stick frying pan with a touch of olive oil.

And there you have it! A simple, quick and healthy recipe that will surely become one of your favorites. Enjoy!
