HOW TO BAKE A YAM
Yams are vegetables native to Africa and Asia, and are starchier and drier than a sweet potato. Sweet potatoes are more commonly found in America and Europe. Whether you are eating a yam or a sweet potato, baking is one of the easiest and...

Steps:
- Preheat your oven to 425°. Sweet potatoes and yams are forgiving vegetables, so you can cook them at temperatures ranging from 375-450°. This means you can place them in the oven while you cook other food.
- Line a baking pan or dish with aluminum foil. Yams tend to ooze syrupy juice, which can be difficult to clean up. Lining your pan ensures an easy clean up process. Don't wrap your yams or sweet potatoes in aluminum foil. Simply lay them on the foil.
- Wash and pierce the yams. Gently scrub the yams under cold water. Poke each yam four or five times with a fork or sharp knife. Put them in the baking dish. You can drizzle vegetable or olive oil on the yams if you choose. Rub the oil evenly over the skins. For a paleo or clean eating variation, coat the sweet potatoes or yams in coconut oil.
- Bake for approximately 1 hour. Once during cooking, turn them over. The sweet potato or yam is done when the yam is soft. Touch it with an oven mitt and test for softness. Insert a knife into the middle of the potato; it should easily glide into the potato if it's done. If it's not done, continue cooking. Another way to tell it is done is that the outside will be darker when it's done. Cooking time will vary depending upon the size of the yams. Larger yams will take longer to cook. The yams can take from 45 to 75 minutes to cook.
- Serve. Remove the yams from the pan and slice open with a knife. Serve the yam with small pats of butter. For a paleo or clean variation, cover with coconut butter and sprinkle with cinnamon or nutmeg. Another clean option is to top with maple syrup or honey. Add brown or granulated sugar and pumpkin pie spice for a sweeter taste. Add salt and pepper, paprika, or cumin for a more savory dish. Mix chili pepper with butter for a kick of spice.
ROASTED YAMS
Roasted, thinly sliced yams or potato of your choice, quickly adds a yummy side-dish to your meal. Best when served with chicken, steak, or a mild fish.

Steps:

- Scrub and pat potatoes dry. Pierce potatoes all over with the tines of a fork and bake in oven, directly on rack, until soft and caramelizing, 1 1/2 hours.
- Slash the tops of potatoes open with the tip of a sharp knife and push ends of each potato toward each other to open. Divide butter, salt, and pepper among potatoes and serve.
ROASTED YAM HALVES

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Halve yams, and place, cut side up, in a shallow baking dish just large enough to hold them in a single layer. Drizzle with oil, and sprinkle with thyme. Season with salt and pepper. Bake until golden brown and very tender, 35 to 45 minutes.
OVEN BAKED YAMS
This recipe is an easy take on baked yams. The yams are boiled first, then filled with a little butter and maple syrup. After the yams are individually wrapped in foil, they are baked until caramelized and juicy. You can eat them plain, with brown sugar-flavored butter, salt and pepper or a sprinkle of toasted sliced almonds. Yams are a staple on everyone's Thanksgiving menu, but not everyone likes the sweetness of candied yams. This is a great alternative that is much more savory. An added bonus is that the yams can be prepared in advance in the morning and warmed just before serving (in the microwave or in a steamer). If you do as much cooking as I do on Thanksgiving, that alone is reason to consider this dish.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400°F.
- Wash the yams and place them whole in a pot (no need to peel them). Add cold water until the yams are barely covered. It's important to start with cold water so the yams cook evenly. Bring to a boil, add 1 teaspoon of salt and reduce the heat to medium-high (if you cook the yams at a roaring boil, they might fall apart). As soon as the water reaches a boil, cook for about 12 minutes. Test, using a fork; the yams should be slightly tender but still firm (not fully cooked). Remove from the pot. Immediately drain the yams thoroughly and let them cool a little (do not rinse). Once the yams are cool enough to handle and have dried completely, cut them into halves (or thirds, depending on their size).
- Using a paring knife, create a 2''-slit in half, horizontally, making sure you don't cut all the way through the base so all of both parts remain attached. Place a yam in a piece of aluminum foil, insert a thin slice of butter into the incision and drizzle with maple syrup.
- Tightly, wrap the yams individually in aluminum foil (for easy clean-up), making sure to leave an opening towards the tip of the yam, and place all the yams onto a baking pan.
- Bake for 10 minutes at 400°F, then lower the heat to 375°F and continue baking for 20 minutes. Allow to rest a little.
- The yams should be fork-tender.
- Each person unwraps a yam, adds his or her own additional ingredients (salt and pepper, brown sugar, butter or toasted sliced almonds), scrapes the flesh and discards the skin.
- Bon appétit!

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.
