Yam Fries Ingredients
Method
Yam Fries Directions
- 1
Prepare the Yams
Begin by washing the yams thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt. Peel the yams using a vegetable peeler, then cut them into fry-shaped pieces, about 1/4 inch thick.
- 2
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). This high temperature will help to achieve a crispy texture on the fries.

Season the Yams
In a large bowl, combine the cut yam fries with olive oil, salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder. Toss well to ensure all fries are evenly coated with the seasoning.

Arrange on Baking Sheet
Spread the seasoned yam fries in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Make sure they are not overcrowded to allow for even cooking.

Bake the Fries
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping the fries halfway through the cooking time for even browning.

Garnish and Serve
Once the fries are golden brown and crispy, remove them from the oven. If desired, sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the fries for added flavor and freshness. Serve immediately.
