Steps:
- Scrub the sweet potatoes and leave the skin on (best part.).
- I like using a french fry cutter (it works sort of like those apple corer/slicer things) for this but if you don't have one, just use a knife to cut the potatoes into shoestrings.
- Put the raw fries into a mixing bowl, and pour in the olive oil. Toss well to coat.
- Add the seasonings and toss well again.
- Arrange the fries on a baking sheet and bake at 400F for 10 minutes.
- Turn the fries with a spatula and bake for another 10 minutes.
- Blot any excess oil with paper towels, serve, and enjoy!
Tips:
- For crispy yam fries, choose yams that are firm and not too soft.
- Cut the yams into even-sized fries so that they cook evenly.
- Soak the yam fries in cold water for 15 minutes before cooking to remove excess starch and help them crisp up.
- Toss the yam fries with olive oil, salt, and pepper before baking.
- Spread the yam fries in a single layer on a baking sheet to ensure even cooking.
- Bake the yam fries at a high temperature (400°F or 200°C) for 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
- Serve the yam fries immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
Conclusion:
Baked yam fries are a healthy and delicious snack or side dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are easy to make and can be customized with a variety of seasonings and dipping sauces. So next time you're looking for a healthier alternative to traditional French fries, give baked yam fries a try.
