These oven-baked cassava fries hit a flavor note that's genuinely hard to find — sweet, tangy, and just a little savory all at once, thanks to a quick stovetop glaze made from pure maple syrup, apple cider vinegar, and coconut aminos. Cassava gets a brief parboil before roasting, which gives the inside that soft, almost creamy texture while the edges crisp up beautifully in a hot oven. The turmeric and ginger in the coconut oil coating add a subtle warmth that plays perfectly against the sticky-sweet glaze brushed on at the end. Tree nut allergies can make snacking stressful when you're scanning labels for shared-facility warnings, but every ingredient here is straightforward and naturally free of that concern. The whole thing comes together in one pot and one sheet pan, which makes cleanup as easy as the cooking. A scatter of fresh parsley at the end keeps things bright and pulls the whole plate together. Serve them immediately while the glaze is still tacky — they won't last long anyway.
