Yum Yum Yams image

So simple to make, and just as good as candied yams that take so long! This is a great recipe for a holiday side dish, or anytime! A real time saver and great when theres just not enough room in the oven on Holidays. The little ones even like Yams this way.

1 cup coconut
2/3 cup brown sugar (or good sub. maple syrup)

  • Microwave the prepared yams (see above) until bubbling hot on high for approximately 6-8 minutes.
  • Top the hot yams with the marshmallows and set aside long enough for the marshmallows to melt some.
  • Place under broiler set fairly low until the marshmallows are golden brown.
  • Note: Watch carefully, the Marshmallows brown very quickly under the broiler.
  • Enjoy!

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my yams turned out dry and bland. I think I might have overcooked them.

These yams were a little too sweet for my taste. I think I would have preferred them with a less sugary glaze.

I followed the recipe exactly and the yams turned out perfect. They were sweet and caramelized on the outside and fluffy on the inside.
