Ingredients
- 4 large yams, at least 3 inches in diameter (each yam should yield 3 stars, depending on exact size)
- 1 1/2 cups orange juice
- 1/2 cup maple syrup
Directions
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Place each yam on its side and slice crosswise into 1/2-inch rounds.
Using a 3-inch star-shaped cookie cutter, cut out a star shape from each round. Discard the scraps.
Place the stars in the baking dish. Pour the orange juice and syrup over the top, and cover tightly with aluminum foil.
Bake for 40 to 60 minutes, until yams are soft to the touch of a fork, then remove the foil and bake for approximately 30 more minutes, or until yams start to become candied. Keep a watchful eye on stars and remove early if the pan juices reduce to the point of burning. To avoid any breakage, serve directly from the baking dish with a spatula.

loved the star shape it's much easier to cut the ends off and the cut length wise than to find yams big enough to fit the star into the rounds and i used my left overs to make sweet potato mash not a fan of the orange juice but still super easy

Easy recipe. Hardest part is to find large yams and the muscle to get the metal cookie cutter through them! I use various sizes of the star cookie cutters. No need to peel the potatoes either. I feed the scraps to the wildlife in my backyard.
