1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
3 tablespoons mild-flavored molasses (light)
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon grated orange peel
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
6 yams (red-skinned sweet potatoes 9- to 10-ounces each)

Steps:

Using electric mixer, beat first 7 ingredients in medium bowl until fluffy. (Can be prepared 1 week ahead. Cover and chill. Bring to room temperature before using.)
Preheat oven to 350°F Line large baking sheet with heavy-duty foil. Using small, sharp knife, make one 1/2-inch-deep lengthwise slit in each yam, leaving 1 inch of yam uncut at each end. Place yams on baking sheet. Bake yams until tender, about 1 hour 15 minutes.
Cut slits across center of each yam. Press ends toward center to expose flesh. Transfer yams to platter. Spoon 1 tablespoon spiced butter into each. Pass remaining spiced butter separately.

These yams were easy to make and so delicious! I will definitely be making them again.

I've made this recipe several times and it always turns out great. The yams are always cooked perfectly and the molasses butter is so flavorful.

I made these yams for Thanksgiving and they were a hit! Everyone loved them.

These yams were delicious! The molasses butter was the perfect complement to the sweet potatoes. I will definitely be making these again.
