Ribs

Yucca Fries

Method

Prepare the Ribs

  1. 1

    Season the Ribs

    Rub the baby back ribs with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder on all sides.

  2. 2

    Slow Cook the Ribs

    Place the seasoned ribs in a slow cooker. Cook on low for 6-8 hours or until the ribs are tender.

Prepare Chipotle BBQ Sauce

  1. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    In a medium saucepan, combine ketchup, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, chipotle peppers, Worcestershire sauce, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.

  2. 4

    Simmer Sauce

    Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat while stirring occasionally. Reduce heat and let it simmer for about 15-20 minutes until slightly thickened.

Prepare Yucca Fries

  1. 5

    Prep the Yucca

    Peel the yucca root and cut it into fry-sized pieces.

  2. 6

    Boil the Yucca

    Bring a pot of salted water to a boil, then add the yucca and cook for about 15-20 minutes until tender but not mushy.

  3. 7

    Fry the Yucca

    Drain the yucca and let it cool slightly. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the yucca pieces until golden brown and crispy on all sides. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Combine and Serve

  1. 8

    Glaze the Ribs

    Once the ribs are cooked, brush them generously with the chipotle BBQ sauce.

  2. 9

    Serve

    Serve the glazed ribs alongside the yucca fries, drizzling extra BBQ sauce over the top if desired.
