Pork Free Cassava Fries with Garlic & Herbs

Cassava fries are one of those snacks that feel indulgent but come together with nothing more than a root vegetable, a handful of pantry spices, and a hot oven. The method here is smart — parboiling the yuca first ensures a tender interior, while the steam-dry step and coconut oil coating give you those golden, lightly crisped edges that make every bite satisfying. Turmeric and ginger add a warm, earthy depth, and the garlic roasts right into the fries so the flavor is baked in rather than just sitting on top. Fresh parsley and rosemary scattered on at the end keep everything bright and fragrant. Every ingredient in this recipe is naturally free from pork and pork-derived products, so there's no label-reading stress or ingredient swaps required — just straightforward, whole-food cooking. These are the kind of fries you'll want to serve alongside everything, or honestly just eat straight off the baking sheet.
