Gluten Free Cassava Fries with Garlic & Herbs

Crispy on the outside, tender and starchy within, these oven-roasted cassava fries are the kind of side dish that disappears fast. Cassava is naturally free from gluten, so there's no swapping or substituting needed here — the whole recipe works exactly as written without any workarounds. The trick to getting that satisfying golden edge is the parboil-then-roast method: cooking the sticks in salted water first ensures a creamy interior, while the high oven heat and coconut oil do the work of crisping everything up beautifully. Turmeric and ginger give the fries a warm, earthy depth, and the fresh parsley and rosemary scattered on at the end keep things bright and aromatic. Minced garlic coats every piece before roasting, so the flavor is baked right in rather than just sitting on the surface. These are fantastic alongside grilled proteins or as a snack on their own with your favorite dipping sauce — and because every ingredient is straightforward and whole, you can serve them with total confidence.
