Citrus Free Maple & Apple Cider Vinegar Cassava Fries

Crispy on the outside, tender within, and finished with a sticky-sweet glaze, these oven-baked cassava fries are the kind of snack that disappears fast. Cassava gets a quick parboil before roasting, which gives the fries that satisfying bite without any deep-frying required. The glaze is where things get really interesting — maple syrup, apple cider vinegar, and coconut aminos cook down into a tangy, caramel-edged coating that clings to every fry. A warm pinch of turmeric and ginger in the seasoning adds just enough depth to keep things from tipping too sweet. For anyone navigating a citrus-free lifestyle, this recipe is a genuine find — the vinegar delivers that bright, punchy contrast you'd normally get from lemon or lime, so nothing feels flat or like it's missing something. Everything here is straightforward pantry-friendly fare, with no hidden citrus derivatives to second-guess. Scatter a little fresh parsley on top before serving and you've got a side dish or shareable appetizer that looks as good as it tastes.
