This one-pan side dish pairs beautifully with roast pork for a delicious Latin-inspired meal. Yucca's filling — a small amount is very satisfying.

Preheat oven to 400°F. Line two cookie sheets with parchment paper.

Place diced yucca in a large pot of salted water over high heat; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer until softened slightly, about 5 minutes; drain well. Place yucca in a large bowl with red pepper, onion, oil, salt, oregano, garlic, cumin and cayenne; toss to coat.
