Ingredients
- 500 grams yam
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Peel the yams and cut them into even-sized matchsticks, approximately ½ inch thick to ensure even cooking.
Step 3
Place the yam matchsticks in a large bowl and drizzle with olive oil. Toss the yams to ensure they are evenly coated.
Step 4
In a small bowl, combine the cornstarch, paprika, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and dried oregano.
Step 5
Sprinkle the cornstarch mixture over the oiled yam slices and toss to coat evenly. This will help achieve a crispy texture.
Step 6
Spread the coated yam sticks onto the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, ensuring they are not overcrowded to allow even baking.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, then remove the baking sheet and flip the yams to ensure even crispness.
Step 8
Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for an additional 15 minutes or until the yams are crispy and golden brown.
Step 9
Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your low-fat crispy yam fry as a delicious snack or side dish!
