When making yam fries in the oven they usually end up soggy and a not at all fry like.
I found the trick is to use the convection setting if you have that on your oven .
Cook on a higher heat setting around 400f
For 20- 25 min . Then turn heat down 325f-350f and let them slow cool for another 15-20 min and allow the moisture to evaporate to get more of a crispier texture without deep frying.
Toss in oil ( I used avocado oil)
Cracked sea salt
Generous amount of garlic powder
Chili flakes to taste if you like spicier (.5 -1/2 tsp ) for every 3 cups of chopped yams
Course chopped onion
Whole garlic cloves
Added some chopped up fresh basil
Mix together. Place on parchment paper only turn over once during baking .
Then off oven and let rest for 10 min oven after yam becomes golden brown .
Serve with a garlic mayonnaise or siracha mayonnaise sauce .
Better than any take out yam fries guaranteed!
