1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature
3 tablespoons mild-flavored (light) molasses
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon grated orange peel
1 teaspoon chili powder

Use a fork to poke holes in the yams before baking. This will help them cook more evenly.
To make the chili butter, simply combine softened butter, chili powder, ground cinnamon, and salt. You can also add a pinch of cayenne pepper for a little extra heat.
If you don't have chili powder, you can use a mixture of paprika and cumin instead.
Serve the baked yams with a dollop of chili butter and a sprinkle of chopped fresh cilantro.
For a sweeter dish, you can add a drizzle of honey or maple syrup to the yams before baking.
To make a savory dish, you can add a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese or crumbled bacon to the yams before baking.
