Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large yams, peeled and sliced into 1-inch thick rounds
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Arrange yams in a single layer in a greased baking dish.
- In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Stir in brown sugar, heavy cream, vanilla, and salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until thickened, about 5 minutes.
- Pour the caramel sauce evenly over the yams, ensuring they are well coated.
- Bake uncovered for 35-40 minutes, basting occasionally, until yams are tender and caramel is bubbly.
- Serve warm, drizzled with extra caramel sauce if desired.
Notes
- For an extra touch, sprinkle with chopped pecans before serving.
- You can prepare the caramel sauce ahead and reheat before pouring over yams.
