Carrageenan 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. Carrageenan, a common additive used as a thickener or stabilizer, has a way of sneaking into packaged sauces, condiments, and even some coconut products, which makes store-bought fry dips and glazes a minefield. Here, every component is built from scratch using whole, recognizable ingredients — fresh yuca, coconut oil, pure maple syrup, apple cider vinegar, and coconut aminos — so there's nothing hidden to worry about. The brief parboil before roasting is the secret to getting that pillowy interior, while the high oven heat takes care of the golden, lightly crisped edges. The glaze comes together in just a few minutes on the stovetop and caramelizes beautifully on the fries during that final blast in the oven, creating a lacquered, tangy-sweet coating with real depth. A scatter of fresh parsley at the end keeps things bright and pulls the whole plate together. These are the kind of fries that make you wonder why you ever settled for anything from a bag.
