• Serves: 1-2

Ingredients

• 1  large  garnet yam
• 1  tablespoon butter

3. Remove yam from oven and allow to cool enough so that you can handle it.
4. When cool, remove skin and slice into 1-inch bite-size pieces.
5. Melt 1 TBSP of butter in large skillet.
6. Add chopped onion and pecans.
7. Saute for a couple of minutes until onions pieces begin to turn brown.
8. Add yam slices, maple syrup, and cinnamon and saute for 3-5 minutes, stirring often, or until yam pieces are hot and tender.
