Artificial Food Coloring Free Maple & Apple Cider Vinegar Cassava Fries

Crispy on the outside, tender within, and finished with a sticky-sweet glaze that hits every note — these cassava fries are the kind of snack that disappears fast. Every single ingredient here is naturally free of synthetic dyes, which matters more than people realize when it comes to fries and dipping sauces, where artificial colors often sneak in through seasonings, coatings, or bottled condiments. The warm golden hue you see comes entirely from ground turmeric and the caramelizing glaze, not a drop of anything artificial. That glaze — pure maple syrup, apple cider vinegar, and coconut aminos — reduces into something tangy, sweet, and deeply savory all at once. Parboiling the cassava before roasting is the move that makes these work: it softens the dense root just enough so the oven can do its job and crisp the edges without drying them out. A scatter of fresh parsley at the end keeps things bright and pulls the whole plate together. These are the kind of fries you make once and then find yourself craving on a regular basis.
