Boil the Cassava
In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the cassava pieces and cook for about 15-20 minutes, or until they are tender but still firm. Drain and let cool.

Remove the fried cassava from the oil and place on paper towels to drain excess oil. While still hot, sprinkle with salt, garlic powder, and paprika. Drizzle with lemon juice before serving.
