Cajun Roasted Squash and Yams

Adapted from a recipe I found online for roasted butternut squash (#200194 on allrecipes.com if you want the original). The cajun spice was an emergency substitute for garlic salt (which I don't keep since we usually use fresh garlic) and it turned out great. The addition of ground cloves was a last minute inspiration. It tasted fantastic even overcooked, but I recommend watching it closely in the last 10 minutes to prevent the edges blackening.Submitted by: NEWMOMOVER40

Coriander Yams

I couldn't find this in the ingredient list, but you need to spray the foil-lined tray and then the top of the yams with a small amount of olive oil spray (Pam, etc.). Also, please note, I used 1 cup cubed yams because that was what they had, so be conscious of this when looking at the nutritional info.

You can make as many yams as you like, and I enjoy this both hot and cold.Submitted by: ROGERSMYCAT
