Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large yam
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
Instructions
Peel the yams and slice them into 1/2 inch thick rounds.
In a large bowl, mix the sea salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder together to create the seasoning.
Add the yam slices to the bowl and toss them in the seasoning mix until they are well coated.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Once the oil is hot, carefully place the yam slices in the skillet. Do not overcrowd the pan; cook in batches if necessary.
Fry the yam slices for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
Remove the crispy fried yam slices from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Serve hot as a side dish or a delicious snack. Enjoy your Whole30 Crispy Fried Yam!
