Method
Preparation
- 1
Wash and Peel the Yams
Begin by washing the yams thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt. Use a vegetable peeler to peel the skin off the yams.
- 2
Cut the Yams
Once peeled, cut the yams into even-sized cubes, about 1 inch in size. This ensures they cook evenly.

Preheat the Oven

Season the Yams
In a large bowl, combine the cubed yams with olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Toss until the yams are evenly coated.

Arrange on Baking Sheet
Spread the seasoned yams in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking.

Bake the Yams
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the yams are tender and slightly golden, flipping halfway through for even cooking.

Garnish and Serve
Once cooked, remove the yams from the oven and garnish with fresh herbs if desired. Serve warm.
