Simple Roasted Yams

October 20, 2015

|

Susan Lewis

 

The sun has officially gone into hiding here in the Pacific Northwest, which means only one thing: Autumn really is here to stay. It's time to embrace it! And what better way than with an obscene amount of recipes dedicated to fall produce (squash, root vegetables, and all things pumpkin)?? We apologize in advance. Not really - fall vegetables are awesome. 

 

This recipe is simple one, but definitely a favorite (and an easy go-to): roasted yams. They're creamy, sweet, and offer up a boatload of nutrients (beta-carotene, fiber, vitamin C, potassium to name a few). We didn't do anything fancy to this batch because truth is, they taste pretty darn good plain.

 

PRO TIP: Double or triple your batch and enjoy them all week long! They're a great carbohydrate source for both pre- and post-workout.
