Crispy on the outside, tender within, and finished with a sticky-sweet glaze that hits every note — these oven-roasted cassava fries are genuinely hard to stop eating. Cassava gets a quick parboil before roasting, which is the secret to that soft interior and golden, lightly crisped exterior that regular potato fries can't quite match. The glaze comes together in minutes on the stovetop, blending pure maple syrup, apple cider vinegar, and coconut aminos into something tangy, sweet, and deeply savory all at once. For anyone navigating a mustard-free lifestyle, the challenge with fries and dipping sauces is that mustard sneaks into so many store-bought seasonings, coatings, and condiments — this recipe sidesteps all of that with a completely clean ingredient list. Every component, from the coconut oil toss to the brushed-on glaze, is straightforward and easy to verify. A scatter of fresh parsley at the end adds a little brightness and color without complicating anything. These are the kind of fries you bring to a gathering and watch disappear before you've even sat down.
