Whole Roasted Yams with Maple-Allspice Butter Recipe

Whole Roasted Yams with Maple-Allspice Butter Recipe

  • 1 cup (2 sticks) butter, room temperature
  • 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 8 small yams (red-skinned sweet potatoes)
  1. Mix first 5 ingredients in medium bowl. (Can be made 3 days ahead. Cover and chill. Bring to room temperature before using.)
  2. Preheat oven to 375°F. Lightly pierce potatoes all over with fork. Set potatoes directly on oven rack; bake until tender when pierced with skewer, about 1 hour. Cut cross in top of each potato. Using oven mitts to protect hands, squeeze potatoes gently in from sides, forcing crosses to open. Spoon 1 tablespoon butter into each potato. Serve, passing remaining butter separately.
