Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Vegetables

    Dice the onion, mince the garlic, grate the carrot, and dice the bell pepper. Set aside.

    Cook the Bacon (if using)

    In a large skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove, crumble, and set aside. Leave some drippings in the skillet.

Cooking

    Slowly add the cassava flour to the skillet. Stir continuously to combine with the vegetables and butter, cooking for about 5-7 minutes until the mixture is golden brown.

Final Seasoning

    Season the Farofa

    Sprinkle salt, black pepper, and paprika over the mixture. Stir well to combine. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
