Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large yams
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons optional fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Wash and peel the yams. Cut them into even matchstick-sized pieces, about 1/4 inch thick.
Place the cut yams into a large bowl, and drizzle them with olive oil. Toss to coat completely.
In a small bowl, mix together the sea salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder.
Sprinkle the seasoning mixture over the yams, and toss well to ensure each fry is evenly coated.
Spread the seasoned yam fries in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure they're not crowded to allow them to crisp up.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy.
Remove from the oven and let cool for a minute or two. If using, sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving.
Serve immediately as a delicious, paleo-friendly side or snack.
