Sweet Yam Rounds


A few days ago someone posted an appealing recipe for Sweet Potato Rounds on Facebook. I didn't take time to print it out, but I sure wished I had in the middle of dinner preparation last night! I went to Facebook and scrolled through my FB site as quickly as I could, but Tom had the rounds nearly done on top of the stove and it was time to get them in the oven! 


So we made an executive decision -- we would make up our own seasoning! Here is the recipe that we came up with. I think you'll like it. If you prefer a more savory taste, you might like this recipe, the one Kathy first posted on Facebook. Or you just might want to try out your own seasonings.

pan-fried fish, steamed broccoli and baked pear

Ingredients

3 yams, scrubbed, cut into 1/4 inch rounds (no need to peel)
olive oil
1 cup apple juice
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
salt and pepper to taste

Pre-cook the yam rounds by stir frying them in oil. Add 1/2 cup of of the apple juice, cover, and let simmer for 10 minutes.

Spray a large glass baking dish and spread the rounds out in the dish. Add 1/2 cup apple juice, sprinkle with cinnamon, cloves, salt, and pepper. Place in a 400 degree oven and bake for 15-20 minutes. (If you remember, turn them over part way through. You might want to add more seasoning at that time. But if you forget, don't worry. They are still quite good!)
