Baked Stuffed Yams Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Place yams on a baking sheet.
• Bake yams for 40 minutes, or until tender, turning occasionally. Set aside.
• In a medium bowl, mix together the red pepper, avocado, cilantro, olive oil, green onions, cumin and lime juice.
• Cut yams in half lengthwise, and fluff the centers with a fork. Top with the avocado stuffing. Season with salt and pepper, and top with shredded Cheddar cheese.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°. Scrub potatoes; pierce several times with a fork. Bake on a foil-lined baking sheet until tender, 45-60 minutes. Cool slightly., Cut off a thin slice from top of each potato. Scoop out pulp, leaving 1/4-in.-thick shells. Mash pulp with cream cheese, brown sugar and cinnamon. Spoon into shells; return to pan. Top with pecans. Bake until heated through, 15-20 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F & set out a shallow baking pan.
• Scrub yams well & pat dry.
• Rub each with butter or salad oil, then pierce skin with a fork & place in the baking pan.
• Bake until soft, about 30-40 minutes, OR bake at a lower temperature along with meat for about 1 hour. Remove from oven.
• While yams are cooling slightly, beat 2 egg whites until stiff, then set aside.
• When yams have cooled enough to handle, cut a slice off a side of each yam so that you can scoop out the pulp into a mixing bowl & leaving about a quarter-inch thick shell.
• To the pulp, add butter, salt & pepper & orange zest, beating to mix thoroughly.
• Fold in beaten & stiff egg whites.
• Stuff this filling back into the yam shells & sprinkle tops with Parmesan cheese.
• Return to a 350 degree F oven & bake another 10-15 minutes before serving.
