Delicious yam fries that are easy and quick to make and satisfy both a salty and sweet craving.
Ingredients
Directions
- Preheat oven to 400 °F (200 °C).
- Peel yams and cut into large chunky french fry pieces.
- Drizzle with olive oil and spread out onto baking sheet.
- Sprinkle with paprika and salt (or just use seasoning salt).
- Bake for 15 minutes until lightly brown on the bottom. Turn and bake for another 5-10 minutes or until soft in the middle and crisp on the outside.
- Serve in place of regular potato dishes.
- Note: also really good as an appetizer with a yogurt-based dipping sauce!

Delicious! Mine came out a bit soft, might leave them in a little longer/ use a bit less oil next time :) Trial and error!
thanks for sharing!

these are yummy...i divided they into servings and put the others in the freezer before i even tasted them. i didn't want to be tempted to eat them all...and it turned out to be a wise decision on my part. i would have eaten more and they do have a few more carbs.

WW has a similar recipe that uses rosemary rather than paprika. My family loves when I make these.

Great! I admit there are still many Carbs in this, but I usually have just a handful of these "fries" and give the rest to my fam. We like it super seasoned, so I usually add dried basil, onion salt, garlic powder, paprika, sundried tomato and italian herb seasoning and crushed chilli flakes. I beat some lime juice, olive oil and chives into some yoghut and added a dash of tobasco sauce to this as well. It served as a yummy dipping 'sauce' : )
