Honey Chipotle Yams

Be the first to review this recipe!

These slightly smoky, slightly sweet yams are bathed in chipotle adobo sauce, a traditional Mexican favorite made from chili powder, vinegar, sugar, garlic, and other herbs. Every bite packs a bold punch of tangy Southwestern flavor.

All of Anyday’s recipes are tested (and retested!) in many different microwave and home kitchens to make sure they work— and work well. Unless specified otherwise, all recipes should be cooked at full power.

To find your microwave’s wattage, look at the front panel, the side of the door, in the back, in the user manual, or Google the model number. If both an input and output wattage are listed, use the output.

Wattage translates to how powerful the microwave is. The higher the wattage, the faster your food will cook. The lower the wattage, the longer the cook time.

When in doubt, start with less time — you can always add more.

Dish

The Medium Deep Dish

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon chipotle adobo sauce (from canned chipotles)
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 1 (340g) medium yams or sweet potatoes, peeled and sliced in ½-inch thick slices 
  • salt, to taste
  • black pepper, to taste

Preparation

  1. Melt the butter in the Anyday dish. Add honey and adobo sauce and mix well. Add in the sliced yams, making sure they’re well coated. Cover with the lid (knob lifted).
  2. Cook in the microwave for 10-11 minutes, or until yams are soft and fully cooked. Cool for 1 minute with the lid still on.\
  3. Spoon the melted chipotle honey butter over the yams, and season with salt and pepper to serve.

Suggestions

  • Replace the yams for any sweet potato available. 
  • For a lighter version, use some olive oil instead of the butter. 
  • For added color, sprinkle with chopped parsley to serve.

Recipe Notes

  • Using brown butter will enhance the flavor of the dish
  • Microwave ovens vary, even with the same wattages. Adjust cooking times as needed.
