Cassava ( Manioc) - any ideas how to prepare it best?

Odyssey:
I've had cassava chips.  I felt fine after eating them before going low-low carb then afterwards...Eeeek!  I had a headache for about three days.  That was enough for me to avoid them even as an occasional treat.  I can't remember specifically what they were fried in.  Surely it wasn't the good saturated fat.  So it could've been the oil and not the chips themselves.  But nevertheless...

I've had a similar reaction to cassava chips.  They gave me a bad reaction but I think they were cooked in canola or sunflower oil so that may have been an issue with it.  I have eaten yuca many times and used to really like it.  They would sometimes sell it in the hot bar at whole foods but recently I have had bad reactions.  Again though I don't know what it was exactly cooked in.  I have never cooked it on my own. 

I just found out earlier today that tapioca comes from cassava.  Never realized that before...
