Beef 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 baked cassava fries are the kind of snack that disappears fast. The cassava gets a quick parboil before roasting, which is the secret to that fluffy interior and properly golden edge without any deep-frying required. Coconut oil, turmeric, and a touch of ginger give the fries a warm, earthy base before the real magic happens: a quick stovetop glaze of maple syrup, apple cider vinegar, and coconut aminos that caramelizes into something tangy, sweet, and deeply savory all at once. Every single ingredient here is plant-based and naturally free from any animal products, so there's zero guesswork about what's in the dish. Cassava is a wonderfully satisfying root vegetable that holds up beautifully to high-heat roasting, making it a fantastic alternative to the usual potato fry situation. A scatter of fresh parsley at the end adds a little brightness that cuts through the richness of the glaze. Serve these straight from the oven while the glaze is still tacky — they won't last long.
