Xanthan Gum 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 oven-roasted cassava fries are the kind of snack that disappears fast. The combination of pure maple syrup, apple cider vinegar, and coconut aminos creates a tangy-sweet coating with real depth, while turmeric and ginger give the fries a warm, golden color before they even hit the glaze. Many packaged fries and seasoning blends sneak in thickeners and stabilizers that can be a problem for anyone avoiding xanthan gum, but every single ingredient here is clean and straightforward. The technique matters too — a quick parboil before roasting ensures the cassava cooks through evenly, so you get that satisfying bite without any gummy or undercooked centers. Coconut oil helps the edges crisp up beautifully in a hot oven, and the final glaze-and-return step locks in that lacquered finish. A scatter of fresh parsley at the end keeps things bright and a little fancy without any extra effort. These are best served straight off the pan while the glaze is still warm and tacky.
