Eggless Cassava Fries with Garlic & Herbs

Cassava fries are one of those sides that look impressive but come together with surprisingly little fuss, and this version with garlic, turmeric, and fresh herbs is genuinely hard to stop eating. The starchy yuca gets a quick parboil before hitting the oven, which is the secret to that fluffy interior and lightly crisped exterior — no deep fryer, no egg wash, no batter required. Coconut oil does all the heavy lifting in the coating department, giving each stick a golden edge and a subtle richness that pairs beautifully with the warm spice of ginger and turmeric. Garlic lovers will be especially happy here, since the minced cloves get tossed directly onto the cassava before roasting and caramelize right into the surface. A shower of fresh parsley and rosemary at the end keeps everything bright and fragrant. These are naturally free from eggs at every step — no binding agents, no dipping stations, just clean, whole ingredients doing exactly what they're supposed to do. Serve them straight from the oven while the edges are still crisp and the herbs are still vivid green.
