Ingredients

  • 2 medium Yams
  • 2 tablespoons Olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Paprika
  • 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Wash and peel the yams. Cut them into thin, evenly-sized matchsticks about 1/4 inch thick for even cooking.

Step 3

Place the yam matchsticks in a large mixing bowl and add the olive oil, salt, paprika, garlic powder, and black pepper.

Step 4

Toss the yams in the bowl until they are evenly coated with the oil and seasonings.

Step 5

Spread the yams in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not overcrowded to allow for proper crisping.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, then remove the tray and use a spatula to flip the yams over.

Step 7

Return the tray to the oven and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the yams are golden and crispy.

Step 8

Remove from the oven and allow them to cool slightly. Serve warm as a side dish or snack.
