A delightful twist on the classic candied yams, perfect for any occasion.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking and the right texture.
Pour the canned yams into a casserole dish, reserving half a cup of the liquid.
Draining the yams slightly concentrates their flavor.
Sprinkle the yams with brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg, then drizzle with maple syrup.
Mixing the spices evenly ensures a consistent flavor.
Dot the top with butter evenly.
Distributing the butter evenly helps it melt uniformly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes until bubbly and slightly caramelized.
Keep an eye on the dish to prevent over-browning.
Serve warm and enjoy your delicious candied yams.
Garnish with a sprinkle of cinnamon for a festive touch.
