Cinnamon Candied Yams Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Place sweet potatoes in a medium baking dish. Distribute butter pieces evenly over the sweet potatoes. Sprinkle with brown sugar. Layer with miniature marshmallows.
• Bake in the preheated oven 25 minutes, or until sweet potatoes are tender and marshmallows have melted.

Steps:

• Peel and chop the sweet potatoes into 2 1/2-inch pieces (no need for perfect dice).
• Do NOT boil the sweet potatoes or they will not have a good texture.
• Heat the oven to 375°F.
• Place the sweet potatoes into a large buttered casserole dish or glass baking dish.
• Place pats of butter or margarine on top of the sweet potatoes.
• Pour the candies in around the sweet potatoes, then sprinkle with the brown sugar.
• Add water over the top.
• Bake for about 1 hour 20 minutes, or until sweet potatoes are just tender, stirring halfway through.
• The candies should be melted and the yams will be a deep red-orange color.
• Top the yams with marshmallows if desired, and bake for another 10 minutes.
• Place a cookie sheet on the rack below the yams to cactch any drips from the melting marshmallows.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375°F.
• Peel and halve the yams crosswise. Cut each half lengthwise into 4 wedges.
• Place the yams in a baking dish that will hold them in a snug single layer.
• Tuck the orange zest and cinnamon sticks among the yams.
• In a bowl, whisk together the orange juice, maple syrup, oil, lemon juice, ginger, and salt. (Note: if you're using butter, omit it in this step, but dot the assembled casserole with small pieces of it before it goes into the oven.) Pour the mixture over the yams.
• Bake for 1 1/4 hours, basting every 15 minutes, until the yams are tender and glazed and the pan juices are syrupy.
• Remove the orange zest and cinnamon sticks before serving.
