How to Make Baked Yams With Cinnamon Chili Butter

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, using an electric mixer, beat together 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar, 2 tablespoons cinnamon, 1 tablespoon chili powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt until light and fluffy.
  3. Line a large baking sheet with foil.
  4. Wash and scrub 4 medium yams. Pierce them several times with a fork.
  5. Place yams directly on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 60-70 minutes, or until tender when pierced with a fork.
  6. Remove yams from oven and let cool slightly. Slit each yam lengthwise, being careful not to cut all the way through.
  7. Spoon 1 tablespoon of the cinnamon chili butter into the slit of each yam.
  8. Serve immediately, passing the remaining butter separately for extra indulgence.
