Try this sweet and simple side dish, which is elegant enough for a Thanksgiving party but also humble enough for a weeknight meal.
Honey-Glazed Yams
My mom doesn’t like overly complicated recipes. This recipe for Honey-Glazed Yams, originally from Bon Appetit magazine, couldn’t be simpler! Cut 5 yams into wedges, then rinse them and pat dry. Toss them with 1/4 cup of olive oil and a teaspoon of salt.

By the way, even though I (and many Americans) call these tubers “yams”, they are really dark sweet potatoes. True yams come from the tropics, and are generally sweeter than sweet potatoes. Now you know.

I love your yams. It's simple, healthy and looks delicious. What a great addition to the Thanksgiving feast!
Oooh, I bet these would be good with maple syrup brushed over them, too. Yum!
Little wonder that you scarfed these down! I would too. They look and sound amazing!
Hi there! Feel free to post my gift ideas and link to my blog if you want. Let me know when you do, I'd love to see it!
These looks awesome...thanks for submitting this post to weekend herb blogging!
So simple but so elegant! Do you flip the wedges halfway through to prevent excessive browning?
Are they yam or sweet potatoes, haven't seen orange coloured yam in Melbourne :(
This is simple but I bet it taste awesome.
I was already wondering if they look more like sweet potatoes to me. I have not served sweet potato (yam) for a western meal, i should try too. They are very healthy, nice pick!
I think I'm going to try this out this Thanksgiving. Thanks for the recipe!
Looks delicious. I was so glad to see that you mentioned that what people call "yams" are really sweet potatoes though! I've written about that at BlogHer a few times, and almost got in a fight with my produce guy about it!
@Wendy - that it is!
@Carolyn - great idea!
@Little Teochew - thanks!
@Winnie - you're welcome, and thanks for hosting!
@Jenster - No need to flip.
@3 Hungry Tummies - sweet potatoes.
@Sonia - try it out for yourself and tell us!
@Janet - do let us know how it turns out for you.
@Smile4me8p - how'd you guys like it?
@Kalyn - I should also mention that people on this side of the world use "yam" to mean taro.
