Roasted Yellow Yams

Tips
Important: Yams can make your skin itch, so rub oil on your hands before handling. Or, protect your skin by using a towel or gloves.
The yellow varieties of yam take longer to cook than the orange. The skin is rough and hard to peel, so it's helpful to heat before peeling.
These can be baked, fried, or boiled and used in soups and stews.
Ingredients
1 large yam, peeled and cut into ¼-inch thick slices
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet or shallow baking dish with aluminum foil.
Arrange slices of yam in the prepared pan so that they are overlapping slightly. Season with salt and pepper and then drizzle evenly with olive oil.
Bake until yams are tender and have begun to wrinkle around the edges, about 30 minutes.
