Description
A delicious side dish for the fall and winter.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
- 2 tbsp maple syrup
- 1 tbsp smoked paprika
- 1/2 tsp ground chipotle
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt
- 6 baby yams
Instructions
- Mix the melted butter, maple, and spices together in a mixing bowl. Place in the fridge for 10 minutes until it starts to harden up. Make sure it’s thoroughly mixed.
- Take a piece of plastic wrap about 12-18 inches long and lay it on the counter. Spoon the semi-hardened butter along the center of the plastic wrap leaving about 2-3 inches on each side. Fold in the edges and roll the plastic wrap like a burrito, then place in the fridge for a couple of hours until fully hardened.
- Bake the yams at 425 degrees for 30 minutes or until fork-tender.
- Place the fork-tender baby yams on your favorite serving platter. Pull the compound butter out of the fridge, cut it into coins (about the thickness of a pencil), and place them over the yams before you present them to the Thanksgiving table.
