Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium-sized yams
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons (chopped) fresh rosemary
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Wash and peel the yams. Cut them into evenly sized fries, about 1/4-inch thick.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, chopped rosemary, garlic powder, paprika, sea salt, and black pepper.
Add the yam fries to the bowl and toss until they are evenly coated with the oil and seasoning mixture.
Spread the yam fries in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not crowded to allow even roasting.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Remove the baking sheet, flip the fries using a spatula, and return them to the oven.
Bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the fries are golden brown and crispy on the edges.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Optionally, garnish with extra chopped rosemary for presentation.
