Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large yams
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Wash and peel the yams, then slice them into fries about 1/4 inch thick.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced yams and olive oil. Toss them until all pieces are evenly coated.
In a small separate bowl, mix together the cornstarch, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Sprinkle the seasoning mixture over the oiled yam slices and toss again until evenly coated.
Spread the seasoned yam fries in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure they are not overlapping to ensure even cooking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, then take them out and flip each fry to ensure even crisping.
Return the fries to the oven and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crisp.
Remove from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before serving.
Serve warm as a side dish or snack, optionally with your favorite dipping sauce.
