Time 1h20m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 medium yams
1 cup orange juice (freshly squeezed or canned/reconstituted)
4 tablespoons brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
4 tablespoons finely chopped pecans

Steps:

  • Bake yams (skin on) at 350-degrees until tender when pierced with fork (approximately 45 minutes to 1 hour).
  • Remove from oven and wrap in damp paper towel.
  • Increase oven temperature to 450-degrees.
  • Allow to cool for 10 minutes.
  • Peel off skin.
  • Slice yams into 1/2" thick rounds.
  • (For extra-nice presentation, after you've cut the rounds, use a cookie cutter to create scalloped edges or fancy shapes.) Place yam slices in a shallow baking dish that has been sprayed with non-stick cooking spray and pour orange juice over all.
  • Mix nutmeg with brown sugar and sprinkle atop each slice.
  • Top each slice with finely chopped pecans.
  • Bake in oven for 10 minutes, or until the sugar is melted and pecans slightly toasted.
  • Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Choose the right variety of yams: There are many different varieties of yams available, each with its own unique flavor and texture. For roasting or baking, look for a yam that is firm and has a deep, rich color.
  • Prepare the yams properly: Before cooking, scrub the yams thoroughly to remove any dirt or debris. Then, pierce the yams with a fork or knife to help them cook evenly.
  • Cook the yams until they are tender: The cooking time for yams will vary depending on the size and variety of yam. Generally, yams should be cooked until they are tender when pierced with a fork.
  • Season the yams to taste: Yams can be seasoned with a variety of herbs, spices, and sauces. Some popular options include cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and brown sugar.
  • Serve the yams hot: Yams are best served hot, straight out of the oven or off the grill. They can be enjoyed as a side dish or as a main course.

Conclusion:

Yams are a delicious and versatile vegetable that can be enjoyed in a variety of ways. With their sweet and earthy flavor, yams are a great addition to any meal. Whether you are roasting them in the oven, grilling them on the barbecue, or frying them in a pan, yams are sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you are looking for a healthy and satisfying side dish or main course, give yams a try!
