INGREDIENTI

  • Vegetables

    • 8 medium yams, peeled and cubed

  • Sugars & Spices

    • ½ cup white sugar
    • ½ cup brown sugar
    • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
    • ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg

  • Dairy

    • 🧈 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into small chunks

  • Liquids

    • 🍊 1 cup orange juice, or as needed

  • Toppings

    • 1 cup miniature marshmallows, or to taste

PASSI

1

Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat. Add yams and boil for 10 minutes. Drain and rinse twice with cold water. Soak in cold water for 15 minutes.

2

While yams are soaking, preheat the oven to 275°F (135°C).

3

Mix white sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg together in a small bowl.

4

Peel and cut yams into chunks, and place in a large baking dish. Dot with butter and sprinkle with sugar mixture so all yams are coated. Carefully pour enough orange juice into the bottom of baking dish to measure 1/2 inch.

5

Bake in the preheated oven, basting often, until yams are tender and the liquid is thick and sticky, 3 to 3 1/2 hours.

6

Sprinkle with mini marshmallows. Turn on the oven's broiler. Broil until marshmallows are melted and toasty, about 5 minutes.
