Rye Free Maple & Apple Cider Vinegar Cassava Fries

Cassava fries are already a crowd-pleaser, but this version takes things somewhere genuinely special with a sticky, tangy glaze that hits sweet, sour, and savory all at once. The fries start with a quick parboil to get that tender interior, then roast at high heat in coconut oil with turmeric and ginger until the edges turn golden and crisp. The real magic happens when the maple syrup and apple cider vinegar glaze — rounded out with coconut aminos — gets brushed on and caramelized in the final few minutes of roasting. Every ingredient here is naturally grain-free, so there's no need to scrutinize labels for hidden rye flour or rye-derived additives that can sneak into seasoning blends and condiments. Cassava is a naturally starchy root that crisps up beautifully without any wheat or grain-based coatings, making it a genuinely satisfying alternative to the usual fry. A scatter of fresh parsley at the end adds a little brightness that makes the whole plate look as good as it tastes. These are best served straight from the oven while the glaze is still tacky and the edges have that irresistible crunch.
