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.

I am a semi-experienced Thanksgiving cook; therefore, I have recipes and measuring cups ready. The glazed sweet potatoes... were a hit. I did make one change to the recipe. I substituted honey for the maple syrup for the glaze.Read more

Quick, easy and quite the hit!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Not only was this easy...it didn't have the usual marshmellow yuck like the sweet potatoes I remember from my childhood. The... only addition I made to the recipe was a sprinkling of chopped pecans to the top as I felt this needed some crunch. This one is indeed a "keeper"!Read more
