Ingredients

  • 1 large Japanese Yam Depends on how much you want to make
  • 1/2 teaspoon unrefined salt adjust according to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F
  • Wash a Japanese yam
  • Peel it if you want to, or keep the skin on for extra nutrition
  • Cut the potato into 1/8 – 1/4″ slices
  • Arrange the slices on a baking mat like this one (afflink) or on parchment paper
  • Bake for 30 minutes or until slightly browned (they’ll be more brown on the bottom, so check as often as you need to)
  • Immediately after taking yams out of the oven, toss in salt.

Notes

We also like using red garnet yams and prepare them the same way. Another delicious and healthy alternative!
