1
Prepare the Yams
Peel and cut the yams into 1-inch cubes. Place them in a large pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil and cook for about 10-15 minutes, or until fork-tender. Drain and set aside.
2
Make the Candied Mixture
In a large mixing bowl, combine the brown sugar, butter, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Mix until well combined.
3
Combine Yams and Mixture
Add the cooked yams to the candied mixture and gently stir until the yams are well coated.
4
Bake
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Transfer the yam mixture to a baking dish and spread evenly. Top with marshmallows. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the marshmallows are golden brown.
5
Serve
Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your delicious candied yams!
