Instructions
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Peel and cut sweet yams/potatoes into 1-inch cubes. Add the melted butter, brown sugar, spices and toasted pecans. Toss to combine.
Pour into a small baking dish and place in the preheated oven.
Bake for 35 to 45 minutes until yams are fork tender. Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly before serving.
Notes
If you use a larger baking dish, your potatoes will cook more quickly.
All oven are different, so cooking times are approximate. Keep an eye on them.
Use any version of yam or sweet potato that you can find at the store.
Casserole can be made ahead of time and reheated before serving, but it will not be as shiny. The butter/sugar glaze will absorb into the sweet potatoes.
