Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Yams (preferably purple or Japanese)
- 60 grams Coconut flour
- 60 grams Almond flour
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 2 large Eggs
- 100 milliliters Olive oil or avocado oil
Instructions
Peel the yams and use a mandoline slicer or a sharp knife to cut them into thin, even slices about 1/4 inch thick.
In a shallow dish, mix together coconut flour, almond flour, salt, ground black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder.
In another bowl, beat the eggs until fully mixed.
Dip each yam slice into the beaten eggs, making sure it's fully coated.
Then, dredge the egg-coated yam slices in the flour mixture, pressing lightly to adhere the coating to the yam.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Ensure the oil is hot enough by dropping in a small piece of yam to see if it sizzles.
Carefully place a few yam slices into the skillet, ensuring not to overcrowd. Fry each side for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
Remove the fried yam slices from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Repeat the frying process with the remaining yam slices.
Serve the crispy fried yams immediately as a snack or side dish. Enjoy!
