Are you ever looking for something that is light, healthy, and filling? These stuffed yams are main dish worthy. This is a variation of a recipe I got from wai Lana yoga. Wanted to add a little more spice to mine.
Spicy Stuffed Yams
You have never had stuffed yams like this before. These are savory, and really hit the spot when you want something that is savory and filling. Amazingly these are healthy as there is little-added butter to these yams.

Ingredients
- 1 pound yams 2
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1/2 tablespoon chopped thyme fresh
- 2 tablespoons chopped chives
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground pepper
- 2 teaspoons grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon chili garlic sauce
Instructions
- Wash the yams and prick with a fork. Place on a baking tray and bake at 400°F for 1 hour, or until soft when gently squeezed.
- Cut in half lengthwise and carefully scoop the flesh out into a bowl, being careful not to break the skins. You may find it helpful to hold the yams in a cloth. Add the butter and mash well. Add the thyme, chives, salt, and pepper to taste and mix well.
- 3. Spoon the mixture back into the skins, piling up slightly in the center. Mix grated cheese and chili garlic sauce. Then top yams with this and return to the oven for about 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the yams are heated through.
