Holiday Yams

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

A sugar-free, dairy-free, gluten-free, sweet side dish for your holiday meal.

Try to pick out 6 yams that are approximately the same size so they will be done around the same time. I have made this recipe with 4 Large yams because that’s what I could find.

After you let them cool, the yams are easy to peel. Then just cut them into bite size pieces. I used a 9X13 glass cake pan but any oven safe dish will work.

Melt the butter then just stir in the coconut sugar and the maple syrup and salt. Mix well, pour over your yams and stir until all pieces are coated really well.

Pop them back into the over and cook or approximately 15 min. When I make these for my traditional Thanksgiving dinner I make them the night before and put them into the oven 30 minutes before dinner. Soaking up all that sugary, maple syrupy coating all night makes them delicious. And its one less thing to have to do on Thanksgiving day. These are always a hit!
