Shellfish Free Cassava Fries with Garlic & Herbs

Crispy on the outside, tender within, these oven-roasted cassava fries are the kind of side dish that disappears fast. Fresh yuca gets a quick parboil to soften the interior, then a toss in melted coconut oil with minced garlic, turmeric, and ginger before hitting a hot oven — that two-step process is what gives you genuinely crisp edges without deep frying. The steam-drying step might seem fussy, but it makes a real difference, pulling excess moisture off the surface so the fries roast rather than steam in the oven. A shower of fresh parsley and rosemary right out of the oven keeps everything bright and fragrant. Every ingredient here is straightforward and plant-based, so there's zero concern about hidden seafood derivatives or cross-contact from processed seasonings. These are bold, golden, and satisfying enough to hold their own as a snack or alongside almost anything you're already making for dinner.
