I like creating new recipes though so I asked my <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/easysoulfoodrecipes\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>Easy Soul Food Recipes<\/em> Facebook friends<\/a> what they wanted to learn how to make in 2024. One answer was candied yams. I usually make <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mominthecity.com\/a-smashing-sweet-potato-casserole-recipe\/\">sweet potato casserole<\/a>, but I made some tasty candied yams last year just to switch things up. Today, I\u2019ll share my simple Southern candied yams recipe.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"628\" height=\"628\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mominthecity.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/simple-southern-candied-yams.jpg\" alt=\"Simple Southern Candied Yams Recipe\" class=\"wp-image-42831\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mominthecity.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/simple-southern-candied-yams.jpg 628w, https:\/\/mominthecity.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/simple-southern-candied-yams-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mominthecity.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/simple-southern-candied-yams-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 628px) 100vw, 628px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Candied yams are a staple soul food dish. Sweet and tender yams <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>are<\/strong> <\/span>the perfect side dish for a variety of occasions \u2013 from family dinners to holiday meals. I speed up the baking time of this classic dish by cooking the yams before baking them in the oven. They are still absolutely delicious though.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To save time, I microwave the washed yams for approximately 10 minutes until they are soft. Next, I rinse and peel them before slicing the yams into rounds. Then, I cover them with a sweet sauce before baking them in the oven. Here is a quick and easy recipe for southern candied yams that will have your guests asking for seconds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-southern-candied-yams\">Southern Candied Yams <\/h2>\n\n\n\n\t<section id=\"mv-creation-16\" class=\"mv-create-card mv-create-card-16 mv-recipe-card mv-create-card-style-square mv-no-js mv-create-center-cards mv-create-aggressive-lists mv-create-has-image \" style=\"position: relative;\">\n\t\t\n\t\t<div class=\"mv-create-wrapper\">\n\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<header class=\"mv-create-header\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"mv-create-title-wrap\">\n\n\t\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"mv-create-title mv-create-title-primary\">Southern Candied Yams<\/h2>\n\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"mv-pinterest-btn mv-pinterest-btn-right\" data-mv-pinterest-desc=\"Southern%20Candied%20Yams\" data-mv-pinterest-img-src=\"https%3A%2F%2Fmominthecity.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2024%2F02%2FIMG_4073.jpeg\" data-mv-pinterest-url=\"https%3A%2F%2Fmominthecity.com%2Fsimple-southern-candied-yams-recipe%2F\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"mv-create-image-container\">\n\n\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mominthecity.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/IMG_4073-735x1305.jpeg\" class=\"mv-create-image no_pin ggnoads\" data-pin-nopin=\"true\" data-pin-description=\"\" alt=\"southern candied yams recipe\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mominthecity.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/IMG_4073-735x1305.jpeg 735w, https:\/\/www.mominthecity.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/IMG_4073-169x300.jpeg 169w, https:\/\/www.mominthecity.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/IMG_4073-577x1024.jpeg 577w, https:\/\/www.mominthecity.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/IMG_4073-768x1363.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.mominthecity.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/IMG_4073-865x1536.jpeg 865w, https:\/\/www.mominthecity.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/IMG_4073-1154x2048.jpeg 1154w, https:\/\/www.mominthecity.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/IMG_4073.jpeg 1244w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 735px) 100vw, 735px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/www.mominthecity.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/IMG_4073.jpeg\">\t<form class=\"mv-create-print-form\">\n\t\t<button class=\"mv-create-button mv-create-print-button\" data-mv-print=\"https:\/\/mominthecity.com\/wp-json\/mv-create\/v1\/creations\/16\/print\">\n\t\t\tPrint\t\t<\/button>\n\t<\/form>\n\n<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"mv-create-description\">\n\t\t\t<p>Simple candied yams in oven recipe<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/header>\n\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"mv-create-ingredients\">\n\t\t<h3 class=\"mv-create-ingredients-title mv-create-title-secondary\">Ingredients<\/h3>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<ul>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t4 yams, sliced into 1-inch rounds\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t1 cup brown sugar\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t1\/2 cup unsalted butter, cut into pieces\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t1 tsp ground cinnamon\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t1\/2 tsp ground nutmeg\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t 1\/2 tsp salt\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t1 tsp vanilla extract\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t1\/2 cup water\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/ul>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"mv-create-hands-free\"><\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"mv-create-instructions mv-create-instructions-slot-v2\">\n\t\t<h3 class=\"mv-create-instructions-title mv-create-title-secondary\">Instructions<\/h3>\n\t\t<ol><ol><li id=\"mv_create_16_1\">Preheat your oven to 350&deg;F.

You can experiment with additional flavors though. For instance, some Southern people like to add a pinch of ginger or cloves. Others like marshmallow toppings and others like to add pineapple chunks and pineapple juice for pineapple-glazed candied yams. Although I tend to prefer minimalist dishes, you can get creative. Just choose what you and your family will enjoy the most.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These sweet (with a touch of savory) yams go well with a variety of main courses.
