Yeast 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. Fresh yuca is parboiled first to get that soft interior, then roasted at high heat until the edges turn golden and just a little caramelized. The glaze brings together pure maple syrup, apple cider vinegar, and coconut aminos for a tangy-sweet finish that clings beautifully to every fry. Because the whole recipe relies on whole-food, plant-based ingredients, there's no need to scan labels for hidden fermented additives or worry about sneaky yeast-derived flavor enhancers. Turmeric and ginger add a warm, earthy undertone that makes the flavor feel layered without any extra effort. Coconut aminos do the savory heavy lifting here — delivering that umami depth you'd normally expect from soy sauce, completely yeast-free. Scatter a little fresh parsley on top and serve immediately while the glaze is still tacky and the fries are at their absolute best.
