Yam wedges with curry dip
There’s a reason French fries never go out of trend: they taste so good. Let your kids mix up the ketchup dip while you prepare the fries. Yams pair well with most protein, but are equally as tasty on their own.
Ingredients
Yam Wedges
- Non-stick cooking spray
- 1 large yam, cut length wise into wedges
- 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- ¼ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp freshly ground black pepper
Curry Ketchup
- ¾ cup ketchup

- In a large bowl, toss yam wedges with olive oil, salt and pepper. Place on the reserved baking sheet.
- Bake for 40 minutes, turning once, till golden brown.
