Description
A very simple recipe for roasted yams with maple and pecans that is easy to make and takes 5 minutes of hands on time before going into the oven to bake.
Ingredients
- 3 medium yams (1 pound), sliced 1/4 inch thick
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- salt
- fresh cracked pepper
- 2–3 tablespoons real maple syrup
- 1/2 cup pecans
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 425 F
- Slice yams into ¼-inch thin rounds.
- Toss with olive oil just enough that all sides are coated. Season with salt and pepper, toss again,
- Lay them out on a parchment lined sheet pan, mostly in one layer. A little overlap is fine, but do not crowd too much.
- Bake 20 minutes.
- Mix the pecans with the maple syrup with a pinch of salt and pepper and set aside.
- After 20 minutes, scatter with pecans/maple mix, gently mix all and then return to the oven for 10 more minutes, or until edges begin to caramelize and yams are tender.
- Place on a platter or baking dish, cover loosely with foil and keep warm until serving.
Notes
Roasted yams will keep up to 4 days in the fridge and can be reheated.
