PLAIN BAKED WHOLE YAMS

Categories     Vegetable     Dessert     Bake     Quick & Easy     High Fiber     Wheat/Gluten-Free     Healthy

Number Of Ingredients 2

Jewel yams
from 6 to 11 oz each.

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 Farenheit. (Test oven temperature with thermometer to make sure your oven thermostat is correct.) Scrub yams with veggie brush under running cold water. This will abrade the skin enough so you don't have to make slits in them. Place in stainless pan large enough so yams fit comfortably without crowding. It's OK if they touch. Bake for 1 ½ hours. Yams are done when the flesh has pulled away from the skin and a knife goes in very easily. The skin will look somewhat charred, but the yams will not taste burned. Turn off oven and let yams sit in oven until room temperature. If that's not practical let them sit on the counter till cool. Refrigerate in their skins several hours or overnight, till cold, in a covered glass container. Peel, slice, and serve as a side dish, dessert, or snack. They are also good warm but really come into their own when chilled. If serving warm you can add a little orange juice if you like, but when eating them cold they are best on their own.

Tips for a Perfect Crunchy Yam Bake

  • Choose yams that are firm and have smooth skin, avoiding any with blemishes or soft spots.
  • Scrub the yams thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt or debris.
  • Slice the yams into evenly sized pieces to ensure even cooking.
  • Toss the yam slices with a mixture of olive oil, salt, and pepper to enhance their flavor.
  • Arrange the yam slices in a single layer on a baking sheet, ensuring they are not overcrowded.
  • Roast the yams in a preheated oven at 425°F for 20-25 minutes, or until they are tender and slightly browned.
  • Serve the crunchy yam bake hot as a side dish or as a main course with your favorite protein and vegetables.

Conclusion

Whether you're looking for a simple side dish or a hearty main course, this crunchy yam bake is sure to satisfy your taste buds. With its crispy exterior and tender interior, this dish is a delicious and versatile addition to any meal.
