Dairy Free Maple & Apple Cider Vinegar Cassava Fries

These oven-baked cassava fries hit a flavor note that's genuinely hard to find — sweet, tangy, and savory all at once, with golden edges and a sticky glaze that clings to every piece. Cassava gets a quick parboil before roasting, which gives the inside that soft, almost creamy texture while the outside crisps up beautifully in a hot oven. The glaze is where things get really interesting: pure maple syrup and apple cider vinegar reduce together with coconut aminos into something glossy and complex that tastes far more involved than a four-ingredient sauce has any right to be. Coconut oil and coconut aminos do all the heavy lifting here, so there's no butter, no cream, no dairy of any kind hiding anywhere in the recipe. A warm note of turmeric and ginger in the seasoning ties everything together and gives the fries a gorgeous golden hue before the glaze even goes on. Finished with a scatter of fresh parsley, these are the kind of side dish that disappears fast — serve them straight from the oven while the glaze is still tacky and the edges are at their crispiest.
