Yammy “Fries”

With yams and sweet potatoes on sale everywhere try these; Ingredients (serves 1-2)
1 large yam or sweet potato
1 teaspoon of cumin (optional)
1 tablespoon of oil
Salt and pepper to taste
Directions
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Peel yam and slice into 1/2 inch wide and an 2 inch long spears. Yam are sometimes difficult to slice, so don't worry if "fries" are uneven and broken. Spread out yam fries on a metal cookie sheet, ok if they touch, the heat will shrink them. Sprinkle with cumin, salt and pepper. Lastly drizzle with oil and cook for about 45 minutes. Turn once about half way through to brown fries on both sides. Sweet potatoes have more sugar so cooking time may be shorter; watch them carefully to prevent from burning black.
