Gelatin Free Cassava Fries with Garlic & Herbs

Cassava fries are the kind of side dish that makes people stop mid-bite and ask what they're eating — in the best possible way. The root vegetable gets parboiled first to lock in a tender interior, then tossed in melted coconut oil with minced garlic, turmeric, and ginger before hitting a hot oven to develop those irresistible golden edges. That two-step method — boil, then roast — is what separates genuinely crispy homemade fries from the sad, soggy kind. Fresh parsley and optional rosemary go on right out of the oven so the herbs stay bright and fragrant rather than wilting into nothing. Every single ingredient here is whole and plant-based, so there's no need to scan labels for hidden animal-derived additives that can sneak into processed snack foods. These are bold, herby, and satisfying enough to hold their own as a main event alongside a dipping sauce, or as a crowd-pleasing side at any table.
