Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium (about 5 oz each) yams (sweet potatoes)
- 8 oz (1 cup) crushed pineapple (in juice)
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar (packed)
- 1 teaspoon unsalted butter
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Wash and scrub the yams thoroughly. Pierce each yam several times with a fork to allow steam to escape during baking.
Place the yams on the prepared baking sheet and bake in the oven for 45–55 minutes, or until they are tender when pierced with a knife.
While the yams are baking, prepare the pineapple topping. In a small saucepan, combine the crushed pineapple (with its juice), ground cinnamon, brown sugar, butter, and salt. Stir well and heat over medium-low heat until the mixture simmers gently, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
Once the yams are baked and cool enough to handle, carefully slice them open lengthwise. Gently fluff the insides with a fork to create a space for the topping.
Spoon the warm pineapple mixture evenly over each yam. Serve immediately and enjoy!
