Ingredients

Yam quater of a medium size
30 g Butter
Salt to taste
1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
1 teaspoon Mild curry powder

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 170°C
Cut off one end the yam and cut into big chunks.
Peel the yam and cut into sticks/batons. Drop the yam into a bowl of water to prevent browning.
Pour the yam sticks into a colander to drain, then pour in a bowl.
Melt the butter so it turns liquid. Pour into the bowl with some salt and the spices.
Toss the yam to get even coating on all pieces and pour on a baking tray.
Make sure the oven has achieved the right temperature, and place the tray in.
Leave to bake for 20 mins. Remove from the oven and serve hot.
