They even show up at Christmas dinner and most Sunday suppers too!  They are essential to a real deal Southern meal. A lot of candied yam recipes are cooked on the stovetop like my mama&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/grandbaby-cakes.com\/candied-sweet-potatoes\/\">candied sweet potatoes<\/a> and require a good amount of babysitting. But by baking them instead, you cut the work in half and save some time in the process boos.

Ghee will also work and make a thicker glaze due to the lower water content. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Brown Sugar:<\/strong> If you don&#8217;t have light brown sugar, dark brown will give a deeper molasses flavor.  You can also swap in pure maple syrup to add a unique sweetness.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Yams<\/strong>: You can also swap in sweet potatoes here if you can&#8217;t find yams.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Spices:<\/strong> If you don&#8217;t want to use individual spices, you can also use a pre-packaged apple pie spice or pumpkin pie spice for ease.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Orange Juice and Zest:<\/strong> You can use another citrus flavor like lime or lemon and it will still brighten the flavors perfectly.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-recipe-additions-and-variations\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Recipe_Additions_and_Variations\"><\/span>Recipe Additions and Variations<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Go Vegan:<\/strong> Replace the butter with your fave plant-based butter.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Get Nutty<\/strong>: Sprinkle a generous handful of chopped pecans, walnuts, or almonds on top before baking for some extra texture.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Add Marshmallows<\/strong>: Layer marshmallows on top before the final minutes of baking.

They will have a richer flavor.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Slice Evenly<\/strong>: Aim for consistent 1\/4-inch thickness when slicing your yams! This will make sure that they bake evenly.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Mellow Out<\/strong>: Marinating the sliced yams in the glaze for a few minutes before baking allows those flavors to really penetrate and soak into the yam.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Soak Trick<\/strong>: Before boiling the yams, give them a quick soak in cold water for about 30 minutes. This helps draw out excess starch so the yams get tender but not mushy as they bake.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Layer It Up<\/strong>: When arranging the yam slices in the baking dish, drizzle a bit of glaze between each layer to get a consistent burst of sweetness in every bite.
