Simple Roasted Yams

Share

 

Simple Roasted Yams | FoodsOfOurLives.comYou are going to love these. They are amazing.

So easy and so amazing.

I make these at least once a week for our family and there is almost never any leftovers. 

If you over-cook them just a touch then the sugars from the yams start to ooze out a little and you get this candied flavor without the addition of any other sugar. Yum.

I know it may seem to odd to some to leave the skins on but they are delish and it’s SO much easier NOT to peel them. 

And I am all about easy!

Recipe By: Megan
Serves: serve 4-6
Ingredients
  • 2-4 whole yams or sweet potatoes
  • ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
  • sea salt
  • freshly ground black pepper
Preparation Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 425º.
  2. Dice the yams to about ½ inch dice.
  3. Place on a rimmed baking sheet and drizzle about ¼ cup or so olive oil over them. So when you toss them they get a nice coating of oil.
  4. Sprinkle generously with salt and pepper, toss to coat.
  5. Place in the oven and roast, tossing occasionally to ensure even cooking, until soft and wrinkly, about 25 minutes.
