Challenge #74 - Purple Yams - Something new

When I took a cooking class a couple of months ago, we made a pudding using purple (Korean) yams.  Last month a new Asian Market opened near me that stocks these deliciously colorful yams.  It's purple, what could be better.  This recipe is super simple, the yam is really the star of the show.

Ingredients:
Purple yams (might be called Korean yam)
Ginger Powder
Cinnamon
Shredded coconut

Step #1 - Preheat oven to 400 degrees.  Poke a few holes in yams with a fork.  Bake until fork tender, about 40-60 minutes depending on the size of the yams. (Photo below is after I took them out of the oven)
Step #2 - Cut open and sprinkle with ginger, cinnamon, and shredded coconut to taste. I only used a small amount of each (very little ginger powder).  Of course you can omit any topping you don't like. Isn't the color amazing?  Enjoy!
