BAKED YAM FRIES

Steps:

• Pre-heat the oven to 425°F with the rack one spot from the bottom.
• There are no measurements for the spices with this recipe as yams vary greatly in size and so do peoples taste buds. So you will need to use your judgement when you make them.
• Add the yams to a bowl. Drizzle with the oil and then toss to evenly coat. Now sprinkle with spices. Start with salt and pepper and toss, then move on to the garlic powder, paprika and bread crumbs. Toss very well to make sure that everything is evenly distributed and then transfer to a baking sheet.
• Place into the oven and bake for about 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and flip the yams on to the other side. Place back in the oven for 5 - 10 minutes or until nicely browned.
• Serve with dinner or for a snack and you will love them

THE BEST BAKED SWEET POTATO FRIES

Steps:

• Slice your sweet potatoes into long, thin strips, about 1/4-inch wide. It's important that the fries are uniformly sized for even cooking. Add the fries to a large bowl of cold water and soak for at least 30 minutes (or up to overnight).
• Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a large baking sheet (or two medium baking sheets*) with parchment paper, or mist with cooking spray. Set aside.
• Drain the fries, rinse out and dry your bowl of water, then blot dry the fries with a clean towel.
• Add the fries back to the clean bowl.* Then drizzle evenly with the olive oil, and toss until they are evenly coated.
• In a separate small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch, garlic powder, smoked paprika and black pepper until combined. Sprinkle the mixture evenly over the bowl of fries, then toss until the fries are evenly coated and the cornstarch has soaked into the oil.
• Spread the fries out in an even layer on the prepared baking sheet. Be sure that the fries aren't overlapping, or else they will not cook evenly.
• Bake for 15 minutes. Then remove pan from oven, and take the time to flip each fry with a spatula. Rearrange so that the fries are evenly spaced and not overlapping again. Then bake for 10-15 more minutes, or until the fries are crispy and have begun to brown a bit on the tips.
• Transfer the baking sheet to a cooling rack, sprinkle with your desired amount of salt, then let the fries rest for 5 minutes. Serve warm.

HOW TO BAKE A YAM

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 425°. Sweet potatoes and yams are forgiving vegetables, so you can cook them at temperatures ranging from 375-450°. This means you can place them in the oven while you cook other food.
• Line a baking pan or dish with aluminum foil. Yams tend to ooze syrupy juice, which can be difficult to clean up. Lining your pan ensures an easy clean up process. Don't wrap your yams or sweet potatoes in aluminum foil. Simply lay them on the foil.
• Wash and pierce the yams. Gently scrub the yams under cold water. Poke each yam four or five times with a fork or sharp knife. Put them in the baking dish. You can drizzle vegetable or olive oil on the yams if you choose. Rub the oil evenly over the skins. For a paleo or clean eating variation, coat the sweet potatoes or yams in coconut oil.
• Bake for approximately 1 hour. Once during cooking, turn them over. The sweet potato or yam is done when the yam is soft. Touch it with an oven mitt and test for softness. Insert a knife into the middle of the potato; it should easily glide into the potato if it's done. If it's not done, continue cooking. Another way to tell it is done is that the outside will be darker when it's done. Cooking time will vary depending upon the size of the yams. Larger yams will take longer to cook. The yams can take from 45 to 75 minutes to cook.
• Serve. Remove the yams from the pan and slice open with a knife. Serve the yam with small pats of butter. For a paleo or clean variation, cover with coconut butter and sprinkle with cinnamon or nutmeg. Another clean option is to top with maple syrup or honey. Add brown or granulated sugar and pumpkin pie spice for a sweeter taste. Add salt and pepper, paprika, or cumin for a more savory dish. Mix chili pepper with butter for a kick of spice.

SWEET POTATO FRIES

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 400.

• Mix the spices, salt and pepper in a small bowl, and toss them with the sweet potatoes. Spread them out on 2 rimmed baking sheets.
• Bake until brown and crisp on the bottom, about 15 minutes, then flip and cook until the other side is crisp, about 10 minutes. Serve hot.

BAKED SWEET POTATO FRIES RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Rinse and peel sweet potatoes.
• To cut into fries, cut a small sliver off the edge of the potatoes lengthwise to create a flat side for them to rest on. Turn the potato over to lay on its flat side. Cut each slice lengthwise into three to four fries.
• Place the fries in a bowl of water and soak for one hour. (This helps remove excess starch from the potatoes so your fries will be crispier.) Rinse and dry off.
• In a large bowl or gallon bag, toss the fries with cornstarch until they're evenly coated. Then add the oil and toss to coat.
• Add the pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and brown sugar and toss to evenly distribute your spices. (Hold off on adding the salt until after baking. This will help make sure the fries are crispy.)
• Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil and spray with nonstick cooking spray. Lay out the french fries, being sure not to overcrowd the pan. (You may need two pans, depending on how large your pans are. Avoid overcrowding one pan or your fries may not crisp up.)
• Bake for 15 minutes. Flip fries with tongs, then bake for an additional 10-15 minutes. Sprinkle on salt (to taste) and serve! Add shredded Parmesan and chopped parsley for an optional garnish.
• Enjoy!

YAM FRIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375.
• Just wash your yams well & cut them into pieces of your desired size, I like them a bit thicker.
• Toss them in 1 tlbs. oil {you can use others but grapeseed oil is best since it doesn't become toxic once it reaches certain temps like oilve oil may}.
• Lay them out on a cookie sheet, meaty part facing down & season with kosher salt or I used Mrs. Dash since it's salt-less. Bake for 20 mins or until the thickest pieces are tender!

30-MINUTE SEASONED SWEET POTATO / YAM FRIES (BAKED NOT FRIED)

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.

CRISPY SWEET POTATO FRIES

Steps:

• Set a pot of water on medium-high heat to boil.
• Meanwhile, peel the sweet potatoes, slice them into roughly 1/3 inch sheets, then into roughly 1/3 inch thick fries. Preheat the oven to 475 degrees F.
• Once the water has boiled, add the vinegar and a 3 finger pinch of salt, stirring to dissolve the salt. Add the sweet potato fries to the boiling water and set a timer for 6 minutes. When the time is up, drain the fries into a colander. Using a fork lightly scratch the surface of the fries to help the slurry mixture mix into the nooks and crannies.
• Meanwhile, add the 50 g cornstarch and 80 g of cold water to a bowl. Stir until completely combined with no clumps remaining. Add the still hot, drained fries to the bowl and toss until the slurry thickens and sticks to the fries. If you need a little more cornstarch feel free to add it. The mixture should lightly coat the fries.
• Using tongs, move the fries to a wire rack over a large baking sheet. Evenly space the fries so none of them are touching. Using a squirt bottle or spoon, drizzle the peanut oil over the fries trying to get an even coating over each one (you could also use a baking spray though I didn't find it works as well). Add the sweet potatoes to the oven and set a timer for 15 minutes.
• Pull the baking sheet out and flip the fries with a spatula. At this point, you should be able to see some blistering on the outside but the fries won't be overly crisp. If they look a little dry, drizzle over more peanut oil. Add them back to the oven and bake for another 10 to 15 minutes. At this point, they should be slightly browned and crispy though it could take longer depending on the size of the fry, how crowded the pan is or the oil used. If they aren't crispy, let them go longer!
• Pour in the fries into a bowl. Immediately a pinch of salt and a couple of cranks of black pepper. Toss the fries in the seasoning and enjoy with the dipping sauce of your choice. Feel free to add spices, fresh herbs, cheeses, or any flavorings of your choice during this stage.
