INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat the oven to 425°F. Cut the yam into matchstick fries. Add them to a baking sheet along with 2 tbsp oil, sesame seeds, and a good pinch of salt and pepper. Toss to coat. Bake for 15 - 17 minutes until golden brown. Flip over and bake for 5-10 more minutes.

While the fries cook, prepare the aioli. Halve the lemon. In a small bowl whisk the Vegenaise, wasabi, agave and ½ cup lemon juice. Add salt to taste. Cut the nori into small pieces.

Once the fries are done, sprinkle them with the nori pieces. Serve alongside the wasabi aioli.
