Crispy on the outside, tender in the middle, and loaded with garlic and warm spice, these oven-roasted cassava fries are the kind of snack that disappears fast. Cassava is naturally dairy-free, so there's no swapping or substituting needed here — the whole recipe works exactly as written without a drop of butter, cream, or anything that could cause digestive grief. Coconut oil steps in as the fat of choice, giving each stick a gorgeous golden edge and a subtle richness that pairs beautifully with the minced garlic, turmeric, and ginger. The two-step method — boiling first, then roasting — is the real secret to getting that satisfying crisp without a deep fryer. A final shower of fresh parsley and rosemary pulls everything together and makes the finished plate look as good as it tastes. Serve them straight from the oven while the edges are still crackling, because these are absolutely at their best hot.

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Place the cassava sticks in a large pot and cover with cold salted water by at least 1 inch. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to a steady simmer and cook for 12–15 minutes, until the sticks are just tender when pierced with a fork but still hold their shape — they should not be falling apart.
