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.
