HOW TO

SLICE

YUCA

Prepping yuca root

is similar to prepping

pineapple. First you

peel it. Then you cut

out the woody core.

Here’s how to do it.

1. Slice off the tapered
   ends. Then cut the root
   into shorter, 3- to 4-inch
   segments.


2. Stand a single
   segment on one of its
   flat ends. Using a sharp
   chef’s knife, carefully
   slice down the sides,
   working your way around
   the segment until all the
   skin is removed.


3. Quarter the segment
   lengthwise to expose the
   woody core. (You’ll have
   four long wedges.)


4. Stand one wedge
   upright and slice away
   the woody core.


5. Repeat steps 2–4 with
   the remaining segments.
