These Jack O’ Lantern Yam Fries are such a fun Halloween snack! The yams bake until tender with lightly crisped edges, and their naturally sweet flavor with a little salt makes them such a fun treat for Halloween parties or after-school snacking.
Why These Jack O’ Lantern Yam Fries Are SO Fun! 🎃
Okay, these Jack O’ Lantern Yam Fries are SO cute! I love taking something as simple as yam fries and turning them into little jack o’ lanterns with a cookie cutter.
The yams get nice and tender with lightly crisped edges, and that sweet-and-salty combination is so good. They’re simple, but those little pumpkin shapes make them feel like such a fun Halloween treat!
And they really are SO easy. Slice the yams, cut out the shapes, brush them with olive oil, sprinkle with salt, and bake. That’s it!
Charlie and Claire loved these so much that they keep asking me to make them again, so I’ll definitely be pulling out that pumpkin cookie cutter again soon. 😂
I think these would be so cute on a Halloween party table, but honestly, they’re just as fun for an after-school snack. It’s such an easy way to make snack time feel a little more festive.
And you can totally use different cookie cutter shapes throughout the year, too! I love little ideas like this that make something simple feel extra special.
If you’re planning some Halloween fun this year, you have to try these! 🎃
P.S. My Spider Web Bean Dip would be SO cute alongside these for a Halloween snack spread!
