Main Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- 1
Wash and Peel the Yams
Thoroughly wash the yams under cold running water. Use a vegetable peeler to remove the skin. Cut the yams into cubes of approximately 1-inch.
- 2
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). This ensures that the yams will roast evenly and get a nice crispy exterior.
- 3
Season the Yams
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cubed yams with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and chopped fresh rosemary. Toss until the yams are evenly coated with the seasoning.
Cooking
- 4
Arrange on Baking Sheet
Spread the seasoned yams in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Ensure they are not overcrowded to allow for proper roasting.
- 5
Roast the Yams
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for about 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the yams are golden brown and tender when pierced with a fork.
- 6
Serve
Once cooked, remove the yams from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Serve warm as a side dish or a delicious snack.
