Chestnut Free Cassava Fries with Garlic & Herbs

Crispy on the outside, tender in the middle, and loaded with garlic, turmeric, and fresh herbs — these oven-roasted cassava fries are the kind of snack that disappears fast. The method here is smart: par-boiling the yuca first ensures the inside cooks through completely, while a quick steam-dry before roasting sets up that satisfying golden crust. Coconut oil carries the seasoning beautifully and helps the edges crisp without deep frying, so the whole thing comes together in a regular home oven. A hit of ginger and turmeric gives the fries a warm, subtly earthy depth that plain potato fries just can't match. Fresh parsley and rosemary go on right at the end so they stay bright and fragrant rather than burning in the oven. Every ingredient in this recipe is naturally free from tree nuts of any kind, including chestnuts, so there's no label-reading stress or substitution gymnastics required. Serve them straight from the pan while they're hot and at their crispiest — they won't last long.
