Ingredients
- 500 grams Yams (preferably purple or Japanese)
- 60 grams Coconut flour
- 60 grams Almond flour
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 2 large Eggs
- 100 milliliters Olive oil or avocado oil
Directions
Step 1
Peel the yams and use a mandoline slicer or a sharp knife to cut them into thin, even slices about 1/4 inch thick.
Step 2
In a shallow dish, mix together coconut flour, almond flour, salt, ground black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder.
Step 3
In another bowl, beat the eggs until fully mixed.
Step 4
Dip each yam slice into the beaten eggs, making sure it's fully coated.
Step 5
Then, dredge the egg-coated yam slices in the flour mixture, pressing lightly to adhere the coating to the yam.
Step 6
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Ensure the oil is hot enough by dropping in a small piece of yam to see if it sizzles.
Step 7
Carefully place a few yam slices into the skillet, ensuring not to overcrowd. Fry each side for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
Step 8
Remove the fried yam slices from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Step 9
Repeat the frying process with the remaining yam slices.
Step 10
Serve the crispy fried yams immediately as a snack or side dish. Enjoy!
