Ingredients
- 1 lb yuca root peeled, cut into 1-inch chunks, woody core removed
- 2 tbsp olive oil divided
- 1 tsp salt for boiling water
- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar or white vinegar
- 1 tbsp soy sauce or tamari for gluten-free

Notes
Storage: Best served fresh; leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in a skillet or air fryer to regain crispness. Substitutions: You can substitute ketchup for the mustard and aji amarillo for a sweeter, more kid-friendly sauce. Serving Suggestion: Serve with a side of quinoa or a simple green salad to balance the richness.
