 Yuca Cups With Guacamole - Vegan, vegetarian, gluten free and kosher - There is something very appealing about bite sized appetizers, they are cute, portion controlled and simply delicious. We made these cups with Yuca instead of potatoes and we stuffed with them with a creamy avocado and lemon mixture. Simple perfection! Perfect for a Super Bowl party, cinco de Mayo celebration, or a Meatless Monday treat.

We're so excited to bring you another recipe featuring Go Veggie! products! As most of you know, GO Veggie! is our non dairy cheese alternative of choice, for a number of reasons. From a recipe developer point of view, GO Veggie! products are very easy to work with, because of their versatility, taste and how similar they are to their dairy counterparts. From a nutrition point of view,  they're gluten free,  free of dairy and cholesterol, and lower in saturated fat and calories than dairy cream cheese and cheese. So they're the perfect option for anyone with dietary sensitivities or simply looking to improve their heart or overall health. Perfect to use in our vegan recipes!

As food bloggers, one of the questions we get a lot is, if not the most, is "What is your most popular recipe?". And we usually need a couple of minutes to answer that, but after this past Passover, our answer is clear: our Spinach Potato Nests

It's definitely one of our favorites, so we thought it would be fun to come up with another version of it. Same concept, just completely different ingredients. And since Memorial Day is right around the corner, we thought this would work perfectly.

We used Yuca instead of potatoes, and added  GO Veggie! Dairy Free Mexican Style Shreds to add crispiness and lots of flavor. For the filling, we used home made guacamole for it's creaminess and well,  because we love it.

If you're not familiar with Yuca, this is what  it looks like:

Also known as Cassava, it's a super starchy root vegetable, rich in carbohydrates, calcium and vitamin C. When dried and powdered, it's known as tapioca (which might be more familiar with).

It's slightly sweet and can be used instead of potatoes to make fries ( our mom's favorite), mashed, in stews... If you've never had it before, give it a try!

Enjoy!

For the guacamole

  • 1 Hass avocado, slightly firm

  2. Peel the yuca and shred it using a food processor (makes about 2 cups)
  3. Transfer to a large bowl. Add olive oil and salt and mix well using your hands, so the yuca is well coated with the olive oil. Add shreds and mix well

    Brilliant idea to reinvent your Potato Bites!! I see yuca in all the food stores here in South Florida and never knew what to do with it. I can't wait to try this recipe...looks yummy! Thanks so much!

      Thank you!! You must try this. Our mom used to rave about yuca fries. So we figured the would be a "lighter" way to enjoy the yuca. Hope you like it!

    I've never had yuca before, and I never knew that's where tapioca comes from. It's funny because I just passed it in the supermarket and was thinking to try it!

      It's definitely interesting. Very starchy, and very delicious. Our mom was slightly obsessed with yuca fries 🙂
