Breakfast ~ Ngwaci (Roasted Cassava)

Breakfast Ngwaci is a simple yet satisfying dish featuring roasted cassava, enjoyed for its naturally sweet and earthy flavor. Cassava is a staple root crop across Africa, providing essential carbohydrates and nutrients. When roasted over an open flame or baked in an oven, cassava develops a slightly crispy exterior while remaining soft and tender inside.

The preparation of Ngwaci allows for creative variations, including brushing the cassava with butter or seasoning it with salt and spices for extra richness. Some prefer dipping roasted cassava in peanut sauce or pairing it with tea for a heartier meal. Whether eaten plain or enhanced with flavorful additions, Breakfast Ngwaci remains a beloved traditional dish.
