Roasted Yams with Cranberry Maple Butter

In a small bowl using a rubber spatula fold together the softened butter, cranberry sauce, rosemary and maple syrup.  Spread the mixture onto a sheet of plastic wrap and roll into a tight log shape. Refrigerate till use.

Toss the diced yams with the vegetable oil. Lay out in a baking dish and roast in a preheated oven at 375 degrees for 20 minutes.

Remove from the oven. Slice the butter log into ½ inch disk and place over the top of the roasted yams. Cover with foil then place back into the oven and continue to bake at 375 degrees for an additional 10-12 minutes until yams are fork tender and the butter has melted and browned on the edges.

Best served while warm
