Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large yams, peeled and sliced
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- Chopped nuts for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Arrange yams in a baking dish.
- In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add brown sugar, heavy cream, vanilla, and salt. Bring to a boil and simmer until thickened, about 5 minutes.
- Pour caramel sauce over yams, tossing gently to coat evenly.
- Bake uncovered for 35-40 minutes, basting halfway through, until yams are tender and caramel is bubbly.

Notes
- For extra flavor, sprinkle with cinnamon or nutmeg before baking.
- Ensure yams are evenly sliced for uniform baking.
