Balsamic Roasted Yams & Shallots

1. Preheat the oven to 400F.
2. In a large skillet over medium heat, bring the balsamic and brown sugar to a boil, stirring until sugar dissolves. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook until the mixture thickens slightly, about 3 minutes. Add the butter and salt and stir until the butter melts.
3. Set aside ¼ cup of the glaze.
4. Add the yams and shallots and stir to coat to remaining glaze. Spread yams and shallots on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake until yams are tender, about 40 minutes.
5. Transfer yams and shallots to a large serving bowl and toss with the remaining glaze.

Optional: Add some toasted pecans or almonds for a little crunch.
