Yum Yum Yams image

So simple to make, and just as good as candied yams that take so long! This is a great recipe for a holiday side dish, or anytime! A real time saver and great when theres just not enough room in the oven on Holidays. The little ones even like Yams this way.

These yams were a bit bland. I think I would add more spices next time.

I followed the recipe exactly and the yams came out perfect. They were cooked through but still had a little bit of a bite to them.
