Tropical Yams Healthy Thanksgiving Dish Recipes

TROPICAL YAMS - HEALTHY THANKSGIVING DISH

Steps:

• 1. Peel and cube the yams. Place in a 9X12 pre-oiled baking dish. Spray or drizzle oil (I use butter) on them. Cook at 350 for 30 minutes or until done. Mash the yams, add the coconut milk, agave nectar, pineapple, pecans, and seasonings. Mix well, put back in the baking pan, sprinkle with the reserved pineapple and pecans and serve.
• 2. You can make this dish the day before and then reheat it in the oven or microwave right before serving. I like sprinkling the pecans on the top right before putting it on the table.

THANKSGIVING YAMS

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan over medium heat, mix the sweet potatoes, butter and lemon juice. Break the gingersnap cookies into the mixture. Stirring occasionally, cook until thick, about 15 minutes.
• Cover the mixture with desired quantity of marshmallows. Remove from heat and cover 5 minutes, or until marshmallows have melted. Serve warm.

THANKSGIVING YAMS

Steps:

• Peel, quarter lengthwise and cut potatoes crosswise into 1/4-inch thick slices.
• Combine the sweet potatoes, 1/2 t salt, sugar, and water in a large pot.
• Cover and cook over low heat, stirring occasionally until the potatoes fall apart when poked with a fork (45 - 60 minutes).
• Off the heat, mash the sweet potatoes in the saucepan with a potato masher or food mill. Stir in the melted butter, half-and-half, orange juice, and orange zest with a wooden spoon until incorporated.
• Season with additional orange juice, brown sugar, cinnamon, salt and pepper to taste.
