MSG Free Cassava Fries with Garlic & Herbs

Cassava fries are one of those side dishes that feel indulgent and exciting without requiring much effort, and this version delivers serious flavor through garlic, turmeric, ginger, and fresh herbs. The technique here is key — parboiling the cassava first ensures a tender interior, while a hot oven and a little coconut oil create those golden, lightly crisped edges that make fries worth eating in the first place. Every ingredient on this list is whole and straightforward, so you never have to second-guess what's actually going into your food. That matters a lot when so many packaged seasonings and restaurant fries quietly rely on flavor enhancers that don't belong on a clean plate. The steam-drying step before roasting might seem fussy, but it's the reason these come out of the oven looking and tasting like something from a proper kitchen rather than a soggy disappointment. A finishing scatter of fresh parsley and rosemary adds brightness that ties everything together beautifully. Serve them straight from the pan while they're hot and you'll have a hard time stopping at just a few.
