Lactose Free Maple & Apple Cider Vinegar Cassava Fries

Cassava fries are already a crowd-pleaser, but this version takes things somewhere genuinely special — golden, crisp-edged sticks coated in a sticky-sweet glaze that hits every note at once. The combination of pure maple syrup, apple cider vinegar, and coconut aminos creates a glaze that's tangy, savory, and caramel-rich all at the same time. A quick par-boil before roasting is the secret move here, giving the cassava that fluffy interior while the high oven heat does the work of crisping the outside. Turmeric and ginger in the coconut oil coating add a subtle warmth that makes the whole thing feel more complex than the short ingredient list suggests. Every component in this recipe is naturally free of dairy, so there's no swapping or substituting required — it just works as written. Scatter a little fresh parsley on top before serving and you've got a side dish or snack that looks as good as it tastes. These are best eaten straight off the pan while the glaze is still tacky and the edges are at peak crunch.
