    I was looking for a recipe for yams that didn't have all the sugary additives to it. Well, I found it! This recipe is simple and the results are fantastic! The cumin and onions do some magic with the yams and really enhances their flavor and natural sweetness. Very Tasty! Thank you for sharing - 6/1/12

    I LOVE cumin, and would next time double the amount called for, but a good recipe. I'm always looking for different sweet potato recipes, so thanks! - 1/5/12

    This was absolutely delicious! My husband doesn't like cumin, but I love it. This recipe makes it worth making a separate side dish for him. I think it would be a good main dish also. Thanks for sharing. - 10/26/10

    This has got to be one of my most favorite recipes from this site. For the last month my mouth has been watering to get yams in my organic box. They just arrived, so happy. :) - 11/25/09

    Thank you so much! Glad you enjoy it. I haven't made this for a while, but I'm going to have to soon. I'm betting it would be good with butternut squash too, and last time, I threw in some carrots. Yum!
