Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams yam
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Peel the yams and cut them into even-sized matchsticks, approximately ½ inch thick to ensure even cooking.
Place the yam matchsticks in a large bowl and drizzle with olive oil. Toss the yams to ensure they are evenly coated.
In a small bowl, combine the cornstarch, paprika, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and dried oregano.
Sprinkle the cornstarch mixture over the oiled yam slices and toss to coat evenly. This will help achieve a crispy texture.
Spread the coated yam sticks onto the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, ensuring they are not overcrowded to allow even baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, then remove the baking sheet and flip the yams to ensure even crispness.
Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for an additional 15 minutes or until the yams are crispy and golden brown.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your low-fat crispy yam fry as a delicious snack or side dish!
