How do I bake a yam?

Answer 1

I like to oven roast yams to bring out the natural sugars in the yam and carmelize them. Leave the yams whole, prick a few holes in the skin to allow steam to escape, wrap each one in tin foil, then roast in the oven at 400 degrees under tender to the center. (Cooking times will vary depending on the size of the yam, you can always finish off stragglers -- without the tin foil -- in the microwave). Add a small pat of butter, and serve.

Some people also like to use honey, maple syrup, or even toasted marshmallows to sweeten up their yams.

Answer 2

you can boil the yam (s).... then you peel your yams. and you MASH the yams together and add butter ..... you put in one of those glass pans your 40 mins.-1hour............. and if u want u can make a mixture with melted butter/marshmallows/brown sugar.... ( you add the mixture once you have about 10 more minutes in the oven..

Here's a short tutorial on how to prepare Baked Yam and Pineapple :

In order to make this recipe, you need to have 5 cups of mashed yams, a cup of pineapple tidbits,1/4 cup of salt butter, a teaspoon of salt, 1/4 pound of marshmallows and 1/4 cup of pecan halves. It is also important to have a tablespoon of brown sugar, 1/2 teaspoon on rum flavoring and 1/4 cup of halved cherries. Get a nice bowl and mix the rum flavoring, brown sugar and cherries together. Add the remaining ingredients except the crops and mix.Once done, next transfer the mashed vegetables in a baking dish. Top it with mixture. Start preheating the oven with 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Next place the baking dish in the oven and start cooking it for a period of 40 minutes. Come back and keep checking the dessert every 5 minutes. The dessert should be done once the color of the mixture turns brown.
