Recipe Introduction

"People frequently confuse yams with sweet potatoes. They are actually different root vegetables. In this country the word yam is used to refer to the sweet potato, and not to any of the distinctively sharp-tasting root vegetables that people from the Caribbean or Africa know. This recipe calls for sweet potatoes."

List of Ingredients

3 cups peeled and cubed yams
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon freshly chopped Italian parsley
Freshly ground black pepper


Recipe

Preheat the oven to 375°F. Place the yams in a covered baking dish with just enough water to coat the bottom of the pan. After they’ve baked for 45 to 50 minutes, until tender, add the lemon juice and parsley. Add pepper to taste, then serve.
