Barley 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 oven-roasted cassava fries are genuinely hard to stop eating. Cassava is a naturally grain-free root vegetable, which means the whole recipe sidesteps barley and any related grains entirely, with no substitutions or workarounds needed. The fries get a quick parboil before roasting, which is the secret to that fluffy interior, and coconut oil helps the edges turn beautifully golden in a hot oven. The glaze is where things get really interesting: pure maple syrup and apple cider vinegar reduce together with coconut aminos into something tangy, caramel-forward, and just a little savory. A whisper of turmeric and ginger in the seasoning gives the fries a warm, aromatic depth that makes them feel like way more than a simple side dish. Brush the glaze on right at the end so it sets into a lacquered, tacky coating that clings to every fry. Scatter a little fresh parsley over the top and serve them immediately — they won't last long.
