Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium Yams
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Wash and peel the yams. Cut them into thin, evenly-sized matchsticks about 1/4 inch thick for even cooking.
Place the yam matchsticks in a large mixing bowl and add the olive oil, salt, paprika, garlic powder, and black pepper.
Toss the yams in the bowl until they are evenly coated with the oil and seasonings.
Spread the yams in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not overcrowded to allow for proper crisping.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, then remove the tray and use a spatula to flip the yams over.
Return the tray to the oven and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the yams are golden and crispy.
Remove from the oven and allow them to cool slightly. Serve warm as a side dish or snack.
