Crispy on the outside, tender within, and finished with a sticky-sweet glaze that hits every note — these baked cassava fries are the kind of snack that disappears fast. The cassava is parboiled first, which gives it that soft, pillowy interior before the oven works its magic on the edges. Coconut oil, turmeric, and a whisper of ginger season the fries before roasting, building a warm, golden base that smells incredible. The real showstopper is the glaze: pure maple syrup, apple cider vinegar, and coconut aminos reduce into a tangy-sweet lacquer that clings to every fry and caramelizes just enough in those final minutes in the oven. For anyone navigating tree nut concerns, this recipe is naturally free of the usual suspects — every ingredient here is straightforward and easy to verify at a glance. A scatter of fresh parsley at the end adds a pop of color and a little brightness to balance the richness. Serve them straight off the pan while the glaze is still tacky, because they won't last long.
