Citric Acid Free Maple & Apple Cider Vinegar Cassava Fries

Crispy, golden, and coated in a sticky-sweet glaze, these oven-roasted cassava fries hit every note you want from a satisfying side or snack. Cassava is parboiled before roasting, which gives the interior that soft, almost creamy texture while the edges crisp up beautifully in the high heat — no deep fryer needed. The glaze is where things get really interesting: pure maple syrup, apple cider vinegar, and coconut aminos reduce into a glossy, tangy-sweet coating that clings to every fry. For anyone navigating a citric acid sensitivity, finding a flavored fry or dipping sauce at the store is nearly impossible, since citric acid hides in so many packaged seasonings and condiments. Every ingredient here is straightforward and easy to verify, so you stay in full control of what goes into the dish. A pinch of turmeric and ground ginger in the base seasoning adds warmth and a subtle earthiness that plays perfectly against the sweet glaze. Finish with a scatter of fresh parsley and serve immediately — these are best eaten hot, right off the pan.
