Candied yams, but low-fat and not so heavy. Brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg with a little hint of orange zest make some yummy yams that are guilt free, not flavor free.

ingredients

3 medium yams
1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
1 teaspoon flour, sifted
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon orange peel
1 teaspoon soft tub diet margarine
1/2 cup orange juice

directions

Cut yams in half and boil until tender but firm (about 20 minutes).

When cool enough to handle, peel and slice into 1/4-inch thickness. Combine sugar, flour, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and grated orange peel.

Place half of the sliced yams in a medium-sized casserole dish. Sprinkle with spiced sugar mixture. Dot with half the amount of margarine.

Add a second layer of yams, using the rest of the ingredients in the same order as above. Add orange juice.

Bake uncovered in oven preheated to 350 degrees F for 20 minutes.

  1. Colourluver REVIEW:

    Perfect alternative low-fat dessert. I added all spice as well and honey roasted slivered almonds from Trader Joe's. Perfect for Fall season; thank you!
