Simple Maple Sweet Potatoes and Yams

Ingredients (use vegan versions):

    2 large yams
    2 large sweet potatoes
    3/4 cup pure maple syrup
    1/2 pecans
    1 teaspoon ground ginger
    1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
    optional 1/4 teaspoon each nutmeg and cardamom
    1-2 tablespoon vegan margarine (my favourite: Earth Balance)
    optional small minced sweet onions such as vidalia equal to 1/4 cup

Directions:

Peel potatoes and slice into 1/2 inch "coins" and place into a large bowl.

Run nuts in a food processor until chopped well and add to the bowl.

Add onions if using.

Toss in the seasonings, add the syrup, stir until evenly coated.

Pour into a large casserole and "dot" with pieces of margarine.

Cover and bake at 350 for 30- 45 minutes or until potatoes are soft.

Serves: 6-8
