Oats 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 cassava fries are the kind of snack that disappears fast. Cassava (also called yuca) is a naturally grain-free root vegetable, which means this entire recipe is built without a single grain or cereal ingredient in sight, making it a genuinely worry-free choice for anyone navigating oat sensitivities. The fries get a quick parboil before roasting, which is the secret to that pillowy interior and properly crisped edge — no sad, rubbery results here. Coconut oil and a warm dusting of turmeric and ginger give them a gorgeous golden color and a subtle depth that plain fries just can't compete with. The glaze — maple syrup, apple cider vinegar, and coconut aminos — reduces into something tangy, caramel-y, and just a little savory, then gets brushed on right at the end so it sets into a lacquered finish. Every ingredient is straightforward and easy to source, so there's no label-scanning stress at the grocery store. Scatter a little fresh parsley on top and serve them straight from the oven while that glaze is still tacky and irresistible.
