In order to cook yams in the oven, follow these basic tips. Make sure that you pierce the yams with a fork to ensure that they cook properly. Then, place them in a baking dish lined with aluminum foil or parchment paper. Cook the yams for 5-7 minutes or until tender. Serve hot with maple syrup or cream. You can also use a mixture of brown sugar and butter and season with ground ginger and orange juice, if desired.
Peel the yams and cut them into small dice or cubes. You can then spread them out on a baking sheet and drizzle with oil or butter. Once they’ve been baked, season them with your favorite spices. Cook them for approximately 30 minutes at 400°F or until tender. If you like, you can also slice them and serve them as a side dish. The yams are ready!
To make the yams easier to peel, you can cut them into half and reheat them in the oven for another 15 minutes. The baked yams will retain a slightly softer texture than those that were boiled. And because they’ve been boiled twice, reheating them in the oven will make the texture softer than when it was boiled. This way, you can save money on the recipe.
When preparing candied yams, make sure that you select orange-colored yams. Then, prick several places to release the syrupy juice. Bake the yams for 35 to 45 minutes until they’re fork-tender. Then, you’re ready to serve! Make enough for a crowd, double or triple the recipe. If you want to serve a large crowd, don’t be afraid to experiment with different types and add nuts and marshmallows.
