Crispy Baked Cassava

Cultural Context

Crispy Baked Cassava, also known as yuca, is a popular dish in Ghana, often enjoyed as a side or snack. Cassava is a starchy root vegetable that is a staple in many West African cuisines. Traditionally, it is boiled or fried, but baking it offers a healthier alternative while still achieving a delightful crispiness. This dish has gained popularity globally, with variations appearing in Latin American and Caribbean cuisines, where cassava is often served with dips or sauces.
