Ingredients
- 2 large yams
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons optional fresh parsley
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Step 2
Wash and peel the yams. Cut them into even matchstick-sized pieces, about 1/4 inch thick.
Step 3
Place the cut yams into a large bowl, and drizzle them with olive oil. Toss to coat completely.
Step 4
In a small bowl, mix together the sea salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder.
Step 5
Sprinkle the seasoning mixture over the yams, and toss well to ensure each fry is evenly coated.
Step 6
Spread the seasoned yam fries in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure they're not crowded to allow them to crisp up.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy.
Step 8
Remove from the oven and let cool for a minute or two. If using, sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving.
Step 9
Serve immediately as a delicious, paleo-friendly side or snack.
