Yam Fries

Corey can't eat potatoes anymore because they wreak havoc on his blood sugar. However, sweet potatoes are okay. Today I tried making baked sweet potato mojos. These are just thick cut spiced fries that are baked in the oven. They were fast to make and very good.

Here's the way I made them:
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
2. Lightly oil a cookie sheet.
3. Peel and quarter small sweet potatoes. (The thick ends are max 1 inch wide so if you have big yams, cut accordingly.) The pieces don't need to be equal in size.
4. Toss the yam fries in a bowl, drizzle olive oil and a spice mix of your choice on top. (I used mama africa which is a bbq rub from elements of spice but any spice like seasoning salt will work.)
5. Use your hands to mix the yams until the pieces are coated in oil and spices.
6. Spread the yam fries on the pan so that they don't touch.
7. Bake for 15 minutes, flip the yams and bake for another 15 minutes.

They don't become crunchy but for them to be really crunchy, yams need to be fried.
