Yams

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

  2. 2

    Prepare the Yams

    Wash the yams thoroughly under running water. Peel the yams using a vegetable peeler and cut them into 1-inch cubes.

  3. 3

    Boil the Yams

    In a large pot, add the cubed yams and cover them with water. Bring to a boil and cook for about 15-20 minutes until they are tender but not mushy. Drain and set aside.

Mixing & Baking

  1. 4

    Combine Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the boiled yams, olive oil, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, black pepper, and vanilla extract. Mix well until the yams are fully coated.

  2. 5

    Transfer to Baking Dish

    Transfer the yam mixture to a greased baking dish, spreading it evenly.

  3. 6

    Add Marshmallows

    Sprinkle the marshmallows evenly over the top of the yams.

  4. 7

    Bake

    Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the marshmallows are golden brown and slightly toasted.

Serving

  1. 8

    Serve

    Remove the yams from the oven and allow them to cool for a few minutes before serving. Serve warm as a delicious side dish.
