BHA & BHT Free Maple & Apple Cider Vinegar Cassava Fries

These golden cassava fries hit a sweet-tangy note that regular potato fries simply can't match. Fresh yuca is parboiled until just tender, then roasted in coconut oil with turmeric and ginger until the edges turn crisp and deeply golden. The real magic happens when a quick stovetop glaze of pure maple syrup, apple cider vinegar, and coconut aminos gets brushed on at the end, caramelizing into a sticky, lacquered coating that makes every bite genuinely addictive. For anyone navigating preservative-free eating, packaged frozen fries and bottled sauces are often a minefield of BHA and BHT, so building everything from scratch here is both practical and deeply satisfying. Every single ingredient in this recipe is whole and unprocessed, from the fresh cassava root to the pure maple syrup, so you know exactly what you're eating. A scatter of fresh parsley at the end adds a bright, herby finish that cuts through the sweetness beautifully. Serve them straight from the oven while the glaze is still warm and tacky — they won't last long.
