Ingredients
  • 2 louisiana yams (about two pounds)
  • 4 ounce prosciutto, trimmed and sliced in half lengthwise
  • fresh basil leaves, as needed
  • maple syrup, to finish
Directions
  1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Coat a large baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
  2. Peel and cut the sweet potatoes into wedges (4 per potato). In a large nonstick skillet, add enough water to cover the sweet potatoes. Bring the water to a boil, and cook for 8-10 minutes, or only until potatoes are firm but cooked. Do not overcook them or they will fall apart. Drain the water from the potatoes.
  3. Lay a basil leaf on a potato wedge and wrap the wedge with prosciutto. Repeat this step with all sweet potato wedges. Lay the wrapped wedges in a prepared baking dish.
  4. Drizzle them with maple syrup, and bake for 10 minutes, or until the prosciutto starts to crisp.
