Step-by-Step Instructions for Brown Sugar Candied Yams
  1. Begin by washing and peeling your sweet potatoes, ensuring they are free from dirt. Slice them into 1/2-inch rounds or half-moons for even cooking.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together melted butter, brown sugar, orange juice, and pumpkin pie spice until you achieve a smooth, sweet glaze.
  3. Preheat your oven to 375°F. Arrange the sweet potatoes in a single layer in a greased 9x13 inch baking dish. Drizzle the prepared glaze over the sweet potatoes.
  4. Cover the baking dish tightly with plastic wrap. Microwave the sweet potatoes on high for 18-20 minutes, or until they are fork-tender.
  5. After microwaving, sprinkle mini marshmallows generously over the top of the sweet potatoes. Bake for an additional 10-12 minutes.
  6. Once the marshmallows have reached a beautiful golden hue, remove the dish from the oven. Let the Brown Sugar Candied Yams cool slightly before serving.
