Prep the yams

• Scrub the yams well and keep the skins on.
• Cut them into small, even cubes — more surface area means more seasoning in every bite.

Season generously

• Toss the yam cubes in a bowl with the olive oil, salt and black pepper until every piece is coated.

Roast

• Spread the cubes in a single layer on a baking tray.
• Roast at 200 °C until golden and tender, turning halfway through.

Serve

• Serve hot as a simple side — no marshmallows needed.
