Crispy on the outside, tender in the middle, and loaded with garlic and fresh herbs, these oven-roasted cassava fries are the kind of snack that disappears fast. Cassava is a naturally starchy root that crisps up beautifully when you give it a quick parboil before roasting — that extra step is the secret to getting golden edges without a deep fryer. Coconut oil coats every stick in richness, while turmeric and ginger add a warm, earthy depth that makes these feel far more interesting than your average fry. Fresh parsley and optional rosemary go on right out of the oven so the herbs stay bright and fragrant instead of wilting into nothing. Every ingredient here is whole and straightforward — no preservatives, no synthetic additives, just real food you can actually recognize. These work as a side dish, a party snack, or honestly just a reason to stand over the baking sheet in your kitchen. Serve them immediately while the edges are still crackling and the garlic is at its most irresistible.

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.
