Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 425°F.
  • Cut the purple yams into long thin strips then place them in a large bowl, drizzle with olive oil, add Parmesan cheese, salt, pepper and toss well.
  • Spread out the purple yams over a baking sheet. Try to have a single layer of fries so that each fry bakes evenly.
  • Place in the oven and roast for about 25 to 30 minutes, turning them over after 15 minutes, until they're crispy and start to brown.
  • While the purple yams are baking, you can prepare the avocado aioli. Place all the avocado aioli in a food processor or blender and blend until smooth.
  • Serve purple yams with avocado aioli.
