Slightly caramelized, cinnamon and nutmeg-scented yams.
To prepare the yams, peel, slice in half then cut into 1-1.5" -inch cubes. Mix the maple syrup, olive oil, nutmeg, cinnamon, pepper and salt together. You could also add a few pinches of cayenne pepper, if you like. Pour over the yams and toss to evenly coat.
To roast the yams, preheat the oven to 350° degrees Fahrenheit. Cover a baking sheet with parchment paper. Toss the yams again and spread them out evenly on the baking sheet. Place into the oven and roast for about 15 minutes.
Toss the yams and continue to roast for another 15 to 20 minutes, or until fork tender. Transfer to a serving dish and enjoy.
