Ingredients

  • 1/2 c. unsalted butter (1 stick)
  • 8 small yams or sweet potatoes, halved lengthwise
  • kosher salt
  • 1 c. old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1/2 c. unsweetened shredded coconut
  • 2 tbsp. brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp. sesame seeds
  • Pinch of cayenne
  • 2 tbsp. maple syrup
  • 1 c. plain yogurt

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. In a medium skillet over medium heat, melt butter. Continue cooking, swirling skillet occasionally, until golden brown and nutty smelling, about 4 minutes. Set aside.
  2. On a parchment-lined making sheet, brush yams on both sides with browned butter and season with salt. Roast cut-side down until tender, 20 to 25 minutes.
