I'm not sure what went wrong, but my baked yams turned out dry and bland. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what happened.

These baked yams were a delicious and healthy side dish. The glaze was a bit too sweet for my taste, but that's easily fixed by reducing the amount of sugar.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover yams. The glaze is simple to make and the yams are roasted until they're tender and caramelized.
