2 Tbsp light spread (like Promise Buttery Spread Light or Smart Balance Light)
1 large shallot
1 lb yams
1/8 tsp salt
fresh ground black pepper
1/4 tsp dried thyme leaves
1/4 tsp dried oregano leaves

Place a large skillet in the oven and preheat oven to 325°F.

When the pan is hot add the spread, shallot and yams. Return the pan to the oven and cook for about ten minutes. Stir the yams and continue to roast in the oven stirring every 8 - 10 minutes. It will take about 30 minutes until the yams begin to soften.

Add the salt pepper, thyme and oregano and stir. Cook for another 5 - 8 minutes until the yams are slightly crispy on the outside and soft on the inside.
