Baked Sweet Yams
Ingredients
  • 6 small yams
  • 6 tablespoons butter
  • 6 teaspoons honey
  • 3 teaspoons white sugar
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to a medium-high temperature of 250 degrees Fahrenheit (which is equivalent to 120 degrees Celsius).
2
Next, take a non-stick cooking spray and lightly cover the bottom of a 9x13-inch rectangular baking container.
3
Fill a large, deep pot with water and add a pinch of salt to it. Place the pot over high heat until the water reaches its boiling point.
4
Once boiling, cook the yams in the hot water until they become soft and easily pierced with a fork, approximately 10 minutes. Drain the excess water.
5
Place the cooked yams into the prepared baking dish. Using a sharp knife, carefully make a horizontal incision along the length of each yam.
6
Add 1 tablespoon of softened butter to the center of each slit, making sure it's evenly distributed.
7
Put the yams in the oven and bake for 5 to 10 minutes, or until they turn a golden brown color.
8
Before serving, place 1 teaspoon of pure honey into each yam. Finally, sprinkle a pinch of sugar over the top of each yam to add a touch of sweetness.
