Preheat the Oven

Prepare the Yams
Wash the yams thoroughly under running water, then peel them using a vegetable peeler. Cut the peeled yams into thin strips (about 1/4 inch thick) to resemble fries.

Arrange on Baking Sheet
Spread the seasoned yam strips in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Ensure they are not overcrowded for optimal crispiness.

Bake the Fries
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake the yam fries for 25-30 minutes or until they are crispy and golden brown. Turn them halfway through for even baking.
