Cassava fries are already a crowd-pleaser, but this version takes things somewhere genuinely exciting with a sticky, tangy maple and apple cider vinegar glaze that caramelizes right onto the surface. The cassava gets a quick parboil before hitting a hot oven, which is the move that gives you that tender interior with properly crisped edges — no deep fryer, no fuss. Coconut oil, turmeric, and a whisper of ginger coat each stick before roasting, so the flavor is layered even before the glaze enters the picture. That glaze — maple syrup, apple cider vinegar, and coconut aminos — reduces into something glossy and complex, hitting sweet, sour, and savory all at once. Because the whole recipe relies on whole, plant-based ingredients, there's nothing to swap or worry about for anyone avoiding eggs; it's naturally free of them from start to finish. A scatter of fresh parsley at the end brightens everything up and makes the plate look as good as it tastes. These are best served straight from the oven while the glaze is still tacky and the edges have that satisfying bite.
