Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium yam
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon chili flakes
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Peel the yams and slice them into thin, even sticks similar to French fries.
In a large bowl, toss the yam slices with olive oil until they're fully coated.
In a separate bowl, mix together almond flour, garlic powder, paprika, chili flakes, salt, and black pepper.
Coat the yam slices in the almond flour mixture, ensuring each piece is well covered with the seasoning and flour.
Arrange the coated yam fries in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet without overcrowding.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, turning halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy.
Once done, remove from the oven and sprinkle with grated parmesan cheese.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Serve warm as a crispy low-carb side or snack.
