Spicy Roasted Yams

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius).

2. 2

   Peel the yams and cut them into 1-inch cubes.

3. 3

   In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, paprika, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.

4. 4

   Add the yam cubes to the bowl and toss until they are well coated with the spice mixture.

5. 5

   Spread the yams out in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

6. 6

   Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the yams are tender and have a nice caramelized exterior. Be sure to flip them halfway through the cooking time for even roasting.

   Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
