Instructions
Make the Bean Cilantro Dip
In a blender or food processor, combine black beans, cilantro, olive oil, lime juice, garlic, minced onions, and Champagne vinegar.
Blend until smooth, adding a splash of water if needed to reach a creamy consistency.
Season with salt and pepper to taste. Transfer to a bowl and set aside.
Cook the Yucca Fries
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the yucca slices and boil for about 10 minutes, or until slightly tender. Drain and pat dry.
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss the boiled yucca fries with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
Spread evenly on a baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
