- 0.5 cup almond flour
- 0.25 cup tapioca starch
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon sea salt

Directions
Step 1
Peel the yams and slice them into 1/4-inch thick rounds.
Step 2
In a shallow bowl, beat the egg until well blended.
Step 3
In another shallow bowl, combine almond flour, tapioca starch, garlic powder, paprika, sea salt, and black pepper.
Step 4
Dip each yam slice into the beaten egg, ensuring it is completely coated, then dredge it in the almond flour mixture. Press the mixture onto the surface of each slice to ensure an even coating.
Step 5
In a large skillet, heat the coconut oil over medium-high heat until it shimmers.

Carefully place coated yam slices in the hot oil, being sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry in batches if necessary.
Step 7
Fry each slice for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and crispy.
Step 8
Remove fried yam slices from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
