Provided by Food Network

Categories     side-dish

Time 1h20m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

8 medium yams or sweet potatoes (about 4 pounds), peeled, halved crosswise and cut into 8 wedges
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/3 cup light brown sugar, packed
2 tablespoons honey
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground nutmeg
4 ounces gingersnap cookies (about 16)
1/2 cup light brown sugar, packed
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1/4 cup all-purpose flour

Steps:

  • For the yams: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Toss the yams with the oil in a medium bowl and sprinkle with salt and pepper. 2. Melt 2 tablespoons of the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the brown sugar, honey, cinnamon, vanilla and nutmeg and cook, stirring, until the mixture comes to a simmer and the sugar dissolves, 4 minutes. Remove from the heat, add to the yams and toss to coat. Spread the yams and all the sauce evenly into a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Cover tightly with foil and bake until beginning to become tender, 30 minutes.
  • For the crunch: Meanwhile, pulse the gingersnaps in a food processor until they are fine crumbs with a few larger pieces. Transfer to a medium bowl and stir in the sugar, butter and flour to combine. Form crumbles in several sizes using your hands and chill in the refrigerator. Remove the foil from the yams and stir to coat with the sauce. Continue baking uncovered until the potatoes are tender and the sauce has thickened, 20 to 25 minutes. Top with gingersnap crumbles and bake until the yams are very tender and the topping is nicely browned, about 10 minutes longer. Serve.

Yield Yield: 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 pounds garnet yams or sweet potatoes
3 (2-inch) strips orange zest, white, spongy pith removed
2 cinnamon sticks, broken in half
1/2 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
1/3 cup pure maple syrup
2 tablespoons pure olive oil, light sesame oil, or unsalted butter
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
2 teaspoons peeled and finely chopped ginger root
1/2 teaspoon coarse sea salt

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F.
  • Peel and halve the yams crosswise. Cut each half lengthwise into 4 wedges.
  • Place the yams in a baking dish that will hold them in a snug single layer.
  • Tuck the orange zest and cinnamon sticks among the yams.
  • In a bowl, whisk together the orange juice, maple syrup, oil, lemon juice, ginger, and salt. (Note: if you're using butter, omit it in this step, but dot the assembled casserole with small pieces of it before it goes into the oven.) Pour the mixture over the yams.
  • Bake for 1 1/4 hours, basting every 15 minutes, until the yams are tender and glazed and the pan juices are syrupy.
  • Remove the orange zest and cinnamon sticks before serving.

Tips:

  • Choose firm and evenly shaped yams for consistent baking times.
  • Prick the yams with a fork before baking to allow steam to escape and prevent bursting.
  • Bake the yams at a high temperature (400°F) to caramelize the natural sugars and create a crispy skin.
  • Use a combination of sweet and savory spices, such as ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, and paprika, to enhance the flavor of the yams.
  • Add a glaze made with honey, butter, and orange juice during the last few minutes of baking for a glossy and flavorful finish.
  • Serve the baked yams immediately with your favorite toppings, such as sour cream, yogurt, or chopped nuts.

Conclusion:

Baked yams with ginger and honey are a delicious and nutritious side dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With their sweet and savory flavor, crispy skin, and tender flesh, these baked yams are sure to be a hit at your next gathering.
