Time 1h

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 yams or 2 sweet potatoes, about 1 lb. each
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon fresh thyme, finely chopped
coarse salt, to taste
fresh ground black pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Halve the yams and place them, cut side up, in a shallow baking dish large enough to hold them in a single layer.
  • Drizzle with oil and sprinkle with thyme.
  • Season with salt and pepper.
  • Bake until golden brown and very tender, 35-45 minutes.

Tips:

  • Choose the right yams: Select firm, unblemished yams that are about the same size so they cook evenly.
  • Scrub the yams thoroughly: Use a vegetable brush to remove any dirt or debris from the yam skin.
  • Prick the yams with a fork: This helps the yams cook evenly and prevents them from bursting.
  • Roast the yams at a high temperature: This will help them caramelize and develop a crispy exterior.
  • Add flavorful toppings: Before roasting, brush the yams with olive oil and season them with salt, pepper, and your favorite herbs and spices.
  • Serve the yams immediately: Roasted yams are best enjoyed hot out of the oven.
