Step 1

Cut off both ends of the cassava and then cut it in half.

Step 2

Make a shallow cut into the skin and gradually work your knife under the layer of the cassava to remove the skin.

Step 3

Cut it into desired shapes, rinse the cassava, and place it in a pot with salt, sugar, and water, just enough to barely cover.

Step 4

Bring to a boil and cook on medium heat until fork tender. Do NOT overcook the cassava. Drain the water from the cooked cassava.

Step 5

Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper and place the cassava in a single layer.

Step 6

Sprinkle with garlic and parsley, and coat the cassava with cooking spray or oil.

Step 7

Bake in a 425℉/220℃ oven for 20 minutes or until slightly brown, turning once.

Step 8

Serve warm with hot sauce or aioli.
