Ingredients
- 3 large (about 2 pounds) yams, (peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes)
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, (melted)
- 1 medium orange, (juiced (you only use the juice))
- 1 tablespoon dark brown sugar
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
- 1½ cups mini marshmallows
Steps
-
Preheat the oven to 425°F. and spray a large, rimmed baking sheet with nonstick spray.
-
In a large bowl, toss the yams with butter. Spread in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Roast until tender, about 20 to 25 minutes, tossing the yams to rearrange midway through baking.
-
Meanwhile, prepare the glaze. In a small saucepan, combine the orange juice, brown sugar, salt and ginger. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat and cook, until mixture is syrupy and reduced by about a third (about 5 minutes).
-
Brush the roasted yams with the glaze. Carefully scoop the yams into to a 9x13-inch casserole dish. (Make ahead tip: At this point you can cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until you're ready to serve. Bring them to room temperature, then microwave them until hot and continue with the recipe).
-
Sprinkle the marshmallows on top and place the dish under a broiler until the marshmallows are warm, toasted and gooey. Keep an eye on it so you don't burn the marshmallows!
