Description

Keep Thanksgiving healthy with an easy and nutritious holiday treat: roasted yams topped with candied walnuts, raisins and warm spices!

Ingredients

  • 4 whole Large Yams, Roasted
  • 1-½ cup Walnuts
  • 1 Tablespoon Unsalted Butter
  • ⅓ cups Honey
  • ½ cups Golden Raisins
  • ¾ teaspoons Cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoons Cardamom
  • ½ teaspoons Ground Ginger
  • ½ teaspoons Salt

Preparation

Preheat the oven to 425ºF

Wash the yams and pat them dry.

Poke yams a few times with a fork, wrap them in aluminum foil and bake them in the oven for 45 to 60 minutes (depending on size; mine took a full hour). The yams are done when thick juice is seeping out of them and they’re soft when poked.

Remove yams from the oven and set aside.

Add remaining ingredients at the same time to a medium-sized skillet and heat to medium or medium high. Stir with a wooden spoon until honey is coating everything, walnuts become fragrant and raisins plump up, about 2 to 3 minutes, being careful not to burn.

Once yams are cool enough to handle, quarter them and top with desired amount of topping.

Serve hot!

A fabulous idea: Give them a squirt of whipped cream or a drizzle of melted butter.
