Shellfish 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-sweet glaze that hits every note you want from a snack or side dish. The cassava gets parboiled first to ensure a tender interior, then roasted at high heat with coconut oil, turmeric, and ginger until the edges turn golden and slightly crisp. That warm spice base is the perfect canvas for the glaze — a quick stovetop reduction of pure maple syrup, apple cider vinegar, and coconut aminos that goes on in the final minutes of roasting and sets into something beautifully tacky. Every ingredient here is naturally free from shellfish and shellfish-derived additives, so there's no label-scanning required and no compromise on flavor. The whole thing comes together with straightforward pantry staples and a single baking sheet, making it as practical as it is impressive. Finish with a scatter of fresh parsley and serve immediately — these are at their absolute best straight from the oven while the glaze is still glossy and the edges still have that satisfying bite.
