Vegan Cassava Fries with Garlic & Herbs

Cassava is one of those ingredients that transforms completely when you treat it right, and this baked version is proof. The trick is boiling the yuca first until just tender, then letting it steam-dry before it ever hits the oven — that two-step process is what gives you a creamy interior and genuinely crispy edges without a drop of animal fat in sight. Coconut oil, minced garlic, turmeric, and ginger coat every stick before roasting, building a warm, aromatic crust that smells incredible and tastes even better. Fresh parsley and optional rosemary go on right out of the oven so the herbs stay bright and fragrant rather than wilting into nothing. These are naturally free of dairy, eggs, and any animal-derived ingredients, so there's no swapping or substituting required — the recipe just works as written. Serve them straight off the pan while the edges are still crackling, because that's when they're at their absolute best.
