Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F.
  2. Peel and halve the yams crosswise. Cut each half lengthwise into 4 wedges.
  3. Place the yams in a baking dish that will hold them in a snug single layer.
  4. Tuck the orange zest and cinnamon sticks among the yams.
  5. In a bowl, whisk together the orange juice, maple syrup, oil, lemon juice, ginger, and salt. (Note: if you're using butter, omit it in this step, but dot the assembled casserole with small pieces of it before it goes into the oven.) Pour the mixture over the yams.
  6. Bake for 1 1/4 hours, basting every 15 minutes, until the yams are tender and glazed and the pan juices are syrupy.
  7. Remove the orange zest and cinnamon sticks before serving.
