How to Make Healthy Fat Free Glazed Baked Sweet Potatoes Or Yams

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Wash and peel 2 large sweet potatoes or yams. Dice into slices less than 1 inch thick and no wider than 1 1/2 inches.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the diced yams with 2 tablespoons of brown sugar and 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon.
  4. Toss gently to coat the yams evenly with the brown sugar and cinnamon mixture.
  5. Prepare 4 large sheets of aluminum foil.
  6. Divide the yams evenly among the four foil sheets. Pour any remaining juices from the bowl over the yams.
  7. Fold the foil over the yams, creating four sealed packets. Place the packets on a baking sheet.
  8. Bake for 25-35 minutes, flipping the packets halfway through (at approximately 15-20 minutes) to ensure even cooking. The yams are done when tender.
  9. Serve warm. Refrigerate leftovers once cooled.
