Candied Yams

Print Recipe

A classic Southern side dish featuring sweet yams baked in a rich, buttery brown sugar glaze with a hint of cinnamon and nutmeg.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups sliced cooked yams (about 3 large yams)
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Marshmallows (optional, for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  2. Place the sliced yams in a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  3. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine brown sugar, butter, water, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Stir until the butter is melted and the mixture is smooth.
  4. Pour the sugar mixture over the yams, making sure they are evenly coated.
  5. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
  6. If desired, sprinkle marshmallows over the top and bake for an additional 10 minutes or until marshmallows are golden brown.
  7. Remove from oven and let cool slightly before serving.

Notes

For a richer flavor, use fresh yams and cook them until just tender before baking. Adding marshmallows on top is optional but adds a classic sweet finish.
