Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large yams
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Peel the yams and slice them into even, thin fries, about 1/4 inch thick to ensure even cooking.
In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and dried rosemary.
Add the sliced yams to the bowl and toss to coat them evenly with the oil and spice mixture.
Sprinkle the cornstarch over the coated yams and toss again until the cornstarch is evenly distributed, which will help the fries achieve maximum crispiness.
Spread the yam fries out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they do not overlap to ensure even cooking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, then carefully flip the fries using a spatula to promote even browning.
Return the fries to the oven and continue baking for an additional 15 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy, checking occasionally to prevent burning.
Remove from the oven and let sit for a couple of minutes to cool slightly before serving.
Serve immediately as a healthy side dish or snack, enjoying the crispy texture and flavorful seasoning.
