Gut Friendly Maple & Apple Cider Vinegar Cassava Fries

Crispy on the outside, tender within, and finished with a sticky-sweet glaze that hits every note — these baked cassava fries are genuinely hard to stop eating. Cassava is a naturally gentle starch that tends to sit well with sensitive digestive systems, making it a smart swap when regular potato fries feel like a gamble. The fries get a quick parboil before roasting, which helps achieve that satisfying bite without needing any heavy oils or deep-frying. Coconut oil, turmeric, and a touch of ginger keep the seasoning clean and purposeful, while the glaze brings together pure maple syrup, apple cider vinegar, and coconut aminos for a tangy-sweet finish that feels anything but restrictive. Apple cider vinegar has long been a favorite in gut-conscious cooking, and here it does double duty — balancing the sweetness of the maple syrup while adding a bright, complex depth to the glaze. Everything comes together on one baking sheet with straightforward pantry ingredients, so this is as practical as it is delicious. Scatter on some fresh parsley and serve immediately for the best texture.
