1

Cut up the yams and wash them thoroughly.

2

Drain the yams and ensure they are not wet to avoid diluting the sauce.

3

Prepare a glaze (not detailed in the transcript) and pour it over the yams.

4

Cover the yams with foil and place them in a preheated oven at 350°F.

5

Cook the yams in the oven, covered, and then uncover them halfway through cooking.

6

Check the sauce consistency; it should be thick but pourable when added to the yams.

7

After cooking, the syrup should reduce down to a thick consistency, which is the desired outcome.
