Fish Free Cassava Fries with Garlic & Herbs

Cassava fries are one of those side dishes that genuinely surprise people — crispy at the edges, tender in the middle, and packed with way more flavor than your average potato fry. The trick here is the two-step process: par-boiling the cassava until just fork-tender, then letting it steam-dry before it hits the oven, which is what gives you that satisfying golden crust without deep frying. Coconut oil, minced garlic, turmeric, and ginger do serious work in the coating, turning each stick into something fragrant and warmly spiced. Fresh parsley and rosemary scattered on right out of the oven add a bright, herby finish that keeps everything feeling light and vibrant. Every single ingredient here is naturally free from seafood and fish, so there's no label-reading stress or ingredient swapping required — just straightforward, whole-food cooking. These are the kind of fries you'll want to make on repeat, whether you're serving them alongside a big weekend meal or just snacking straight off the pan.
