→ Brown Butter & Sage
02 - 8 tablespoons unsalted butter

05 - Whisk brown sugar, maple syrup, orange juice, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and vanilla extract into the brown butter mixture until smooth.
06 - Pour brown butter-sage glaze evenly over yams, tossing gently to ensure even coating.
07 - Cover baking dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes.
08 - Remove foil, baste yams with pan juices, and bake uncovered for an additional 15 minutes until yams are tender and glaze has thickened.
09 - Allow dish to rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with additional fresh sage if desired.
