Crispy on the outside, tender and starchy within, these oven-roasted cassava fries are the kind of side dish that disappears fast. Cassava is a naturally hearty root vegetable that crisps up beautifully when you give it a quick parboil before roasting — that two-step process is the real secret here, pulling out excess moisture so the edges actually get golden instead of steaming into mush. Coconut oil, minced garlic, turmeric, and ginger coat every stick before they hit the oven, building a warm, aromatic flavor that goes way beyond a basic fry. Fresh parsley and optional rosemary scattered on right out of the oven add a bright, herby finish that makes the whole tray smell incredible. Every single ingredient is straightforward and grain-free, so there's no need to scan labels or second-guess anything hiding in the mix. These work brilliantly alongside grilled proteins, tucked into a bowl, or honestly just eaten straight off the baking sheet with a little extra salt.

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.
