Ingredients

4 tablespoons butter, plus 1 tablespoon for greasing
4 medium yams or sweet potatoes, peeled
1/2 cup brown sugar
3 tablespoons maple syrup
Freshly grated nutmeg, to taste

Directions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Grease a 9 by 13-inch baking dish with 1 tablespoon butter.

Cut each of the yams into 8 evenly shaped wedges. Lay them out in the prepared baking dish in an even layer. Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the brown sugar and allow to dissolve. Mix in syrup and cook until smooth. Pour the glaze over the yams and sprinkle with nutmeg.

Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for about 45 minutes or until the yams are tender when pierced with a fork but they still hold their shape.

These sweet potatoes are amazing. I have made this recipe with both sweet potatoes and yams, and either way they come out... great!! It is so very simple, yet the perfect side dish. My husband and step-daughter absolutely loved them...a household favorite to be made again for sure!!Read more

Great accompaniment for porkchops

Topped these with bacon I had brushed with maple syrup and brown sugar and baked on a wire rack; then crumbled on top of... sweet potatoes before serving. The kids consider it a desert rather than a side dish. Delicious!Read more

Sugar, fats and over cooked

These people can make a total mess of even the easy stuff. Heart Attack Special should be the name of their show. They can... fry, fry, fry anything. Read more

Simple and Delicious
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I made this for Thanksgiving last year. I LOVE cloves and cinnamon so I added those instead of the nutmeg. Absolutely... delicious. I'll definitely make this a Thanksgiving staple from now on!Read more

We love this recipe and make it often, especially in the fall. We like to add sweetened dried cranberries too.
