  4. Melt 1/2 cup (1 stick) of unsalted butter in a microwave-safe bowl.
  5. Pour melted butter into the prepared baking dish.
  6. Arrange yam slices in a single layer in the baking dish.
  7. Dot yam slices with the remaining 2 tablespoons (1/2 stick) of butter.

  10. Sprinkle generously with 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg and the zest of 1 orange.
  11. Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil.
  12. Bake for 45 minutes, then remove foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until yams are tender and slightly caramelized.
