How to Make Balsamic Roasted Yams
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a large skillet, combine 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar and 2 tablespoons brown sugar. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly until the sugar dissolves completely.
- Reduce heat to low and simmer for 3 minutes, or until the mixture slightly thickens and coats the back of a spoon.
- Stir in 2 tablespoons of butter and 1/4 teaspoon salt until the butter is melted and incorporated into the balsamic glaze.
- Add 2 pounds of peeled and cubed yams to the skillet. Toss gently to coat the yams evenly with the balsamic glaze. Season with freshly ground black pepper to taste.
- Spread the yams in a single layer on a large rimmed baking sheet.
- Roast for 40 minutes, or until the yams are tender and slightly caramelized, stirring halfway through.
