Go to store and stare aimlessly around produce section. Come home with, among other things, several carrots and a yam. Ponder what might have possessed you to buy a yam since the amount of yams you have consumed in your entire life could fit inside a medium sized purse. Leave yam and carrots in fridge for approximately 1 week.
Remove from fridge, wash, and dry. Admire these items for a moment and congratulate yourself on the interesting healthy food choices you are making.
Bake on 400 for, oh, around 15 minutes.
Enjoy.
Pairs well with green bean orzo pasta soup, leftover breadsticks, and San Francisco tap water.
