Yam Fries

My friend Jill is a fantastic cook! She made these for me and they were off the hook! The best part is that yams are super healthy for you. Go figure--super healthy and delicious!

This recipe is for 1 medium to large yam. Multiply the recipe as needed.

Ingredients
1 medium/large yam, cut into wedges (about 1/4 inch thick)
1 minced garlic clove
1 teaspoon dried rosemary
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
Coconut oil




I will usually cut one yam half. Then cut that half into 2 halves. Then cut 1 of those halves into halves again. (1 yam can be cut into 8 large wedges this way).

Spread the cut yams on a baking sheet.

Lightly coat the yams with coconut oil. If you don't have coconut oil, any other vegetable oil will do.
The key word is lightly coat. You just need a little oil to make the rosemary and garlic stick. I have overdone it with the coconut oil before, and it just gets the yams all soggy.











Mix the herbs and the garlic together and massage them into the cut yams.


















Bake at 425 to 450 until tender and desired crispiness, approximately 15-20 minutes.

Serve with Aioli, homemade ketchup or Moroccan ketchup!
