Ingredients

• 4 medium-sized yams
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 teaspoons (chopped) fresh rosemary
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon sea salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Wash and peel the yams. Cut them into evenly sized fries, about 1/4-inch thick.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, chopped rosemary, garlic powder, paprika, sea salt, and black pepper.

Step 4

Add the yam fries to the bowl and toss until they are evenly coated with the oil and seasoning mixture.

Step 5

Spread the yam fries in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not crowded to allow even roasting.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Remove the baking sheet, flip the fries using a spatula, and return them to the oven.

Step 7

Bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the fries are golden brown and crispy on the edges.

Step 8

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Optionally, garnish with extra chopped rosemary for presentation.
