Maple-Glazed Yam Stars

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

2. 2

   Place each yam on its side and slice crosswise into 1/2-inch rounds.

3. 3

   Using a 3-inch star-shaped cookie cutter, cut out a star shape from each round.

4. 4

   Discard the scraps.

5. 5

   Place the stars in the baking dish.

6. 6

   Pour the orange juice and syrup over the top, and cover tightly with aluminum foil.

7. 7

   Bake for 40 to 60 minutes, until yams are soft to the touch of a fork, then remove the foil and bake for approximately 30 more minutes, or until yams start to become candied.

8. 8

   Keep a watchful eye on stars and remove early if the pan juices reduce to the point of burning.

9. 9

   To avoid any breakage, serve directly from the baking dish with a spatula.
