Mango and Almond Yams

Courtesy of National Mango Board 12 Servings • 20 Min. Prep Time • 40 Min. Cook Time
Ingredients
4 lb. yams or sweet potatoes
3/4 c. brown sugar
1 1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
2 medium ripe but firm mangos, peeled, pitted and diced
1/4 c. butter
3/4 c. sliced almonds

Directions:

1. Peel yams and cut into 1/4-in. slices; drop into a bowl of water to keep from discoloring. Drain water and transfer to a large pot fitted with a steamer basket. Steam for 10 to 15 min. or until tender when pierced with a fork.

2. Preheat oven to 350°F and lightly butter a 13 x 9-in. baking dish. Stir together the brown sugar and cinnamon. Place half the yams, mangos, brown sugar mixture and butter in the dish. Repeat layers. (Dish may be covered and refrigerated for up to 24 hrs. at this point.)

3. Bake at 350°F for 20 min.; sprinkle with almonds and cook for 20 min. more.
