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. Coconut oil does all the heavy lifting here, giving you that golden roast without a drop of canola, sunflower, or any other refined vegetable oil in sight. The two-step process of parboiling before roasting is the real secret: it ensures the interior stays fluffy while the edges crisp up beautifully in the oven. A quick stovetop glaze of pure maple syrup, apple cider vinegar, and coconut aminos gets brushed on at the end, caramelizing into something tangy, sweet, and deeply savory all at once. The turmeric and ginger in the base seasoning add a warm, earthy undertone that makes the whole thing feel a little more interesting than your average fry. Fresh parsley scattered on top keeps it bright and pulls the whole plate together. These are best served straight from the oven while the glaze is still tacky and the edges have that satisfying bite.
