Nutmeg Free 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 the kind of snack that disappears fast. The parboiling step is the secret weapon here: it softens the dense yuca just enough before the oven works its magic, giving you that satisfying bite without any deep-frying. Turmeric and ginger bring a warm, earthy backbone to the seasoning, and the maple-apple cider vinegar glaze adds a tangy-sweet finish that feels genuinely special. Many warming spice blends lean heavily on nutmeg, but this recipe skips it entirely — every ingredient is right there in the list, so there's no guesswork or label-scanning required. Coconut aminos round out the glaze with a subtle savory depth that makes the whole thing taste far more complex than the short ingredient list suggests. Scatter a little fresh parsley over the top before serving and you've got a side dish or shareable appetizer that looks as good as it tastes.
