Cinnamon Candied Yams Recipes

CLASSIC CANDIED YAMS RECIPE

Classic Candied Yams Recipe image

Candied yams are a classic Southern side dish, especially when it comes to Thanksgiving. Even though Mama makes the same sweet potato casserole every year, she won't be offended if you bring these candied yams once she tries them. Lightly spiced and oh-so-sweet, these candied yams will become a mainstay in your Thanksgiving recipe lineup. Cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla combine with sweet potatoes for the most comforting holiday dish you can serve. One of the best parts about this side dish is that it only has 20 minutes of hands-on time, and you can assemble the dish up to 3 days in advance. Make the recipe through step 3, store it covered in the refrigerator, then bake it Thanksgiving Day. With all the other dishes you have to worry about on Thanksgiving, these candied yams will be a breeze. We recommend serving them straight from the oven while the syrup is still hot.

CINNAMON CANDIED YAMS

Cinnamon Candied Yams image

This recipe was our family's favorite twist on the traditional holiday dish. My grandmother served at Thanksgiving and Christmas, and now I make it for my own family. We prefer it without marshmallows, but you may use them if you wish. This recipe is so easy that you don't really have to do any work besides peeling and chopping the yams. I've tried other recipes for sweet potatoes, but none of them come close to being as delicious as this one!

Prep the yams. Arrange a rack in the middle of the oven and heat the oven to 350ºF. Peel and cut 3 large yams into 1-inch pieces.
Partially cook the yams. Place the yams in a large saucepan or pot and cover with water by about 1 inch. Bring to a low boil over medium-high heat and simmer just until they can be pierced with a fork and starting to soften (they will not be fully cooked), about 10 minutes. Be careful not to overcook.
Transfer to a baking dish. Using a slotted spoon, carefully transfer the yams into an 8x8-inch square baking dish (reserve the cooking water). Spread the yams out in an even layer.
Combine the water, brown sugar, and vanilla. Transfer 3/4 cup warm reserved cooking water into a measuring cup or medium bowl. Add 1/2 cup packed dark brown sugar and stir to dissolve. Add 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract and stir to combine.
