Legume 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 a standard potato fry. The trick here is a quick parboil before roasting, which ensures the inside cooks through while the outside gets that satisfying golden crust in the oven. Coconut oil does the heavy lifting on crispiness, while minced garlic, turmeric, and ginger give every stick a warm, aromatic coating that smells incredible as it roasts. Fresh parsley and rosemary scattered right out of the oven add a bright, herby finish that makes these feel restaurant-worthy. Because the whole recipe is built around whole-food, plant-based ingredients, there's nothing hiding in the mix that could trip up anyone avoiding legumes — no bean-based oils, no soy, no sneaky fillers. These are the kind of fries you'll want to make on repeat, whether you're serving them alongside a main or just eating them straight off the pan.
