Kathis Toasted Marshmallow Cinnamon Candied Yams Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Roast whole yams in preheated oven until heated through but not quite tender, 35 to 40 minutes. Allow to cool.
• Reduce oven heat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Melt butter in a large pot over medium heat. Stir brown sugar, orange juice, and nutmeg with the melted butter to dissolve the sugar completely; bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, and cook until the liquid thickens into a syrup, 10 to 15 minutes.
• Peel cooled yams. Cut yams into bite-size chunks; arrange in a single layer in a 13x9-inch baking dish. Drizzle syrup over the yams.
• Bake in the preheated oven, twice opening the oven to spoon syrup over the yams, until the chunks are fork-tender, about 35 minutes. Arrange marshmallows over the yams and continue baking until the marshmallows are puffy and browned, about 10 minutes more.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Drain the syrup from the cans of yams and add the yams to a 2 quart (approximately 8x8) oven-safe glass or stoneware baking dish.
• Cut the butter into 6 or more pats and distribute as evenly as possible atop the dish of yams.
• Combine the optional spices and sprinkle evenly over the yams, if desired (adds an aroma/flavor reminiscent of pumpkin pie).
• If using unsalted butter, take just a dash of salt between your fingers and rub them together to sprinkle evenly over the yams, if desired.
• Sprinkle the brown sugar evenly over all the yams and butter pats.
• Sprinkle the red hot cinnamon candies evenly over the yams, butter and brown sugar layers.
• Add one layer of miniature marshmallows over the top of the yams, butter, and brown sugar layers. (I used most of a 10 oz bag - you may be able to use the whole bag depending on the size/depth of your baking dish).
• Transfer the baking dish to a cookie sheet, jelly roll pan or shallow roasting pan to prevent any spills of sticky residue from ending up on the inside bottom of your oven and/or caked to your oven racks.
• Bake at 350°F for a total of 30-40 minutes.
• After 5-15 minutes, check on the marshmallows - they should be browning and will smell toasty.
• Once satisfied with the level of marshmallow browning, make a tin foil tent and place over the baking dish, careful not to touch or lay the tin foil on the marshmallows.
• Continue to bake for the remaining time or until desired doneness.
• Remove from oven and let set to cool for 15 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400.
• spray 9x9 pan with cooking spray.
• drain yams and place in pan.
• sprinkle brown sugar over yams.
• sprinkle with cinnamon.
• place cut up butter ontop.
• cover with marshmallows.
• cover with aluminum foil or glass lid sprayed with cooking spray on bottom to prevent marshmallows from sticking.
• bake 20 min.
• remove cover and baked uncovered until marshmallows are light brown about 5-10 mins.

Steps:

• Drain yams saving 3/4 cup of the syrup.
• Combine syrup, butter, raisins, cinnamon and marshmallows.
• Heat over medium stirring till marshmallows melt.
• Add yams and stir.
• Pour mixture into casserole dish.
• Bake at 350 degree oven for 30 minutes.
• Top with some extra mini marshmallows and bake additional 10 minutes til browned.

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.
