How to Make Baked Yams With Ginger And Honey

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Wash and peel 2 lbs of yams. Cut into 1-inch cubes.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the cubed yams with 1/4 cup honey, 2 tablespoons grated fresh ginger, 1 teaspoon ground cardamom, 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt.
  4. Toss gently to coat all the yam cubes evenly with the honey-ginger-spice mixture.
  5. Transfer the yams to a large 9x13 inch baking pan.
  6. Bake for 20 minutes, then gently stir the yams to ensure even cooking.
  7. Continue baking for another 25 minutes, or until the yams are tender and slightly caramelized. Internal temperature should reach 200-210°F (93-99°C).
  8. Remove from oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!
