Gluten Free Maple & Apple Cider Vinegar Cassava Fries

Cassava fries hit differently than anything you'd pull from a freezer bag — they're dense and satisfying with a naturally creamy interior that crisps up beautifully in a hot oven. A quick parboil before roasting is the secret move here, softening the yuca just enough so the outside can go golden and slightly lacquered without the center staying tough. The coconut oil, turmeric, and ginger coating gives every stick a warm, earthy backbone before the real magic happens. That glaze — maple syrup, apple cider vinegar, and coconut aminos — reduces into something sticky, tangy, and deeply savory all at once, and the final few minutes in the oven let it set into a glossy, caramelized finish that clings to every edge. Every ingredient here is naturally free of gluten, so there's no swapping or substituting required — just straightforward, whole-food cooking that happens to work perfectly for anyone avoiding wheat. A scatter of fresh parsley at the end cuts through the richness and makes the whole plate look like something you'd order at a restaurant. These are best eaten immediately, straight off the baking sheet if you can manage it.
