Ingredients
- 3 large yams, peeled and cut in half lengthwise
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 4 Tbsp unsalted butter, softened
- 4 Tbsp dark brown sugar
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp nutmeg
- 1/2 tsp ground ginger
- 1/2 tsp allspice
- pinch of cloves
- 1/4 tsp kosher salt
- 1 tsp lemon zest
- 1 1/2 cups mini marshmallows
Preparation
Step 1
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Place a yam half cut-side down on a cutting board. Lay chopsticks or thin wooden spoon handles on either side (lengthwise) of the yam. Make cuts (crosswise) about ⅛ inch apart , but don't cut all the way through. The chopsticks will prevent you from slicing straight through.
Repeat with remaining yam halves.
Combine the remaining ingredients in a bowl and divide into six equal portions.
Lay yam halves flat side down in a baking dish coated with cooking spray and top each half with a portion of the compound butter. Cover the dish with foil.
Roast for 40 mins, basting the yams occasionally. Uncover and roast for another 10 - 15 mins or until the yams are caramelized and can be easily pierced with a fork.
Switch the oven to the broil setting and scatter the marshmallows over the yams.
Broil until marshmallows are golden brown. Serve immediately.
