Candied Yams

Refreshingly sweet potatoes!

Uh-oh! We're unable to calculate nutrition for this recipe because some ingredients aren't recognized.

Step 1

Wash the sweet potatoes and pierce them all around with a fork.

Step 2

Put them in a big pot with water and set it to high. Let the potatoes cook for about 30 minutes, including the time it takes for the water to boil.

Step 3

Preheat oven to 475 degrees.

Step 4

Cut the potatoes into rounds, peel them, and then slice the rounds into quarters.

Step 5

In a roasting pan, put a layer of sweet potatoes. Coat them with the fresh-squeezed lime juice. Then, coat them in maple syrup.

Step 6

Roast the potatoes with just these two ingredients for the first 15 minutes. Prepare the glaze while this is happening.

Step 7

In a microwaveable bowl or saucepan, combine all other ingredients and warm until melted.

Step 8

Drizzle the glaze over the sweet potatoes in the oven. This is the step where they become candied yams.

Step 9

Let them cook uncovered for 30 more minutes. Then, cover them with aluminum foil for the remaining 15 minutes.

Step 10

Enjoy! You may add a dried herb as garnish, but no need!
