Time 55m

Yield 6-8 Servings of Fries, 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 18

Ingredients

4 sweet potatoes (peeled and cut into thin fires)
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried coriander
1 teaspoon dried parsley
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
4 tablespoons olive oil
6 ounces plain yogurt
1 tablespoon mayonnaise
1/2 tablespoon honey
1/2 lime, juice of
2 teaspoons garlic, minced
1/4 teaspoon cumin
1/8 teaspoon oregano
1 teaspoon fresh parsley
1/2 teaspoon grated onion (important to grate not chop)
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, to taste

Steps:

Potatoes -- Two important things to note when making these. First. Cut all the fries approximately the same size. Second, make sure to cook directly on the cookie sheet. No foil or parchment paper. After cutting the sweet potatoes fries add to a medium size bowl with the olive oil and seasoning and toss well to combine. Add to the cookie sheet and make sure then are not laying on top of one another. They need some space so they can brown up.
Bake -- In a 425 degree oven bake them for 15 minutes and then flip. Guys, they will be soft, they aren't done but be careful flipping them. Bake another 20 minutes until crispy.
Dip -- As the fries bake, make the dip. Just mix it all in a small bowl and refrigerate. Nothing more. Grating the onion is important as it gives you a lot more flavor. Just enjoy, these are a great change from the average french fries.

Categories Vegetable

Time 3m

Yield 1-2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 3

Ingredients

1 -2 large yam
grapeseed oil
salt & seasoning

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!

Tips:

Choose the right yams: Look for yams that are firm and have a deep orange color. Avoid yams that are soft or have blemishes.
Cut the yams into even-sized fries: This will help them cook evenly. If the fries are too thick, they will take longer to cook and may not get crispy.
Soak the yam fries in water: This will help remove the starch from the yams, which will make them crispier. Soak the fries for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
Dry the yam fries thoroughly: Before baking the fries, make sure they are completely dry. This will help them get crispy.
Use a high-heat oven: Baking the fries at a high temperature will help them get crispy. Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C) before baking the fries.
Don't overcrowd the baking sheet: When baking the fries, make sure they are in a single layer on the baking sheet. If the fries are overcrowded, they will not cook evenly.
Flip the fries halfway through cooking: This will help them get evenly browned. Use a spatula to carefully flip the fries.
Serve the fries hot with your favorite dipping sauce: Yam fries are best served hot and crispy. You can serve them with a variety of dipping sauces, such as ketchup, mayonnaise, or ranch dressing.

Conclusion:

Baked yam fries are a delicious and healthy snack or side dish. They are easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With the right ingredients and a little bit of preparation, you can make perfect baked yam fries at home. So next time you are looking for a healthy and tasty snack, give baked yam fries a try.
