Tips:

  • Choose the right yams: Look for yams that are firm and have smooth skin. Avoid yams that are soft or have blemishes.
  • Prepare the yams properly: Scrub the yams well under running water to remove any dirt or debris. Then, peel the yams and cut them into 1-inch thick slices.
  • Cook the yams until tender: You can cook the yams in a variety of ways, such as boiling, roasting, or steaming. The yams are done when they are tender when pierced with a fork.
  • Make the maple glaze: In a small saucepan, combine the maple syrup, brown sugar, butter, and spices. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, stirring constantly. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes.
  • Make the pecan topping: In a small bowl, combine the pecans, brown sugar, flour, and butter. Use your fingers to work the mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  • Assemble the dish: Place the cooked yams in a baking dish. Pour the maple glaze over the yams and sprinkle the pecan topping on top. Bake the dish in a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 20 minutes, or until the yams are heated through and the pecan topping is golden brown.

Conclusion:

Maple glazed yams with pecan topping is a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for any occasion. The sweet and savory flavors of the yams and pecans are a perfect combination, and the maple glaze adds a touch of elegance. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
