Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large yams
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon dried oregano
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Peel the yams and cut them into approximately 1/4-inch thick sticks, ensuring uniform sizes for even cooking.
Place the cut yam sticks into a large mixing bowl and coat them evenly with olive oil.
In a small bowl, mix together the cornstarch, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, sea salt, ground black pepper, and dried oregano.
Sprinkle the cornstarch and seasoning mixture over the yam sticks. Toss well to make sure each stick is thoroughly coated.
Spread the seasoned yam sticks in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are not overcrowded.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Turn the yam fries over and continue baking for another 15 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the fries cool for a couple of minutes before serving.
Enjoy your dairy-free crispy baked yam fries with your favorite dipping sauce or as a side dish.
