The mighty white yam is delicious roasted! So easy to do and a perfect accompaniment to any number of dishes. Peel and cut one large yam into 1/4 inch thick slices Preheat the oven to 175degrees C (350 degrees F). Line a baking sheet or shallow baking dish with aluminium foil. Arrange slices of the yam on the tray so they are slightly overlapping. Season with salt and pepper and drizzle evenly with olive oil. Bake for around 30 minutes until the yam is tender and the edges begun to wrinkle around the edges.

For optimal storage of white yams, it is essential to keep them in a cool, dark, and well-ventilated place. Avoid storing them in the refrigerator, as the cold temperature can negatively impact their texture and taste. Instead, choose a dry location with temperatures ranging between 10-21°C. A pantry or cellar is often suitable for this purpose. Make sure to keep the yams away from direct sunlight to prevent sprouting and spoilage. Additionally, store them loosely rather than in plastic bags to allow for proper air circulation. Regularly check for any signs of decay or sprouting, removing any affected yams promptly to prevent the spread of spoilage. Following these guidelines will help extend the shelf life of white yams and maintain their quality for a more extended period.
