Steps

1

Here are the ingredients. Maple syrup can be used instead of honey for a delicious alternative.
2

Choose yams that are heavy rather than thin ones.
3

They look like sweet potatoes at first glance, but when peeled, they reveal a beautiful orange color. Cut them into 3/4-inch cubes.
4

Melt the butter in a pot and dissolve the brown sugar in it.
5

Place the yams in a casserole dish and coat them well with the butter and sugar mixture from step 4.
6

Cover with aluminum foil and bake in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 30 minutes.
7

Remove from the oven and stir. Drizzle with honey and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar, then bake uncovered for another 20 minutes, checking occasionally.
8

Finish by checking the softness with a skewer, being careful not to burn them.
