Oats 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 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.
