Yam Fries
Method
Preparation
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). This will ensure that your yam fries cook evenly and become crispy.
Prepare the Yams
Wash the yams thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt. Peel the yams using a vegetable peeler, then cut them into thin, even fries (about 1/4 inch thick) to ensure uniform cooking.
Season the Fries
In a large bowl, toss the yam fries with olive oil, salt, black pepper, and paprika until they are evenly coated.
Cooking
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 for optimal crispiness.
Bake the Fries
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping the fries halfway through. They should be golden brown and crispy when done.
Serve
Once cooked, remove the yam fries from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Serve warm and enjoy your delicious yam fries!
