yam fries

 

Ingredients:

2 large Garnet yams

2 Tablespoons olive oil

Sea salt and freshly ground pepper

Smoked paprika (or your favorite seasoning – cinnamon works well, too!)

Directions:

Preheat oven to 450 degrees F and place a heavy baking sheet in the oven.

Prepare sweet potatoes by cutting lengthwise into 1/4-inch thick slices, stack and cut again into 1/4-inch sticks.  Cut sticks into 3-inch segments.

Place sweet potato sticks into medium-sized bowl and toss with 1 Tablespoon olive oil.

Pour remaining olive oil onto baking sheet and using an oven mitt lift baking sheet and turn to coat with olive oil.  Return to the oven and allow sheet pan to reheat, about 2-3 minutes.

Open oven door and pour the sweet potatoes onto hot sheet pan in a single layer. Do not crowd sweet potatoes. Sprinkle with sea salt, freshly ground pepper, and smoked paprika (or other seasoning).

Place sheet pan on bottom oven rack, turning sweet potatoes and rotating sheet pan every 5-6 minutes until cooked through (about 20 minutes).
