Louisiana Candied Yams Recipe

3 medium yams, cooked, peeled, and sliced
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 tsp flour
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
1/4 tsp orange zest
1 Tbsp cold butter, cut into small pieces
1/2 cup orange juice

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

In a bowl, combine the sugar, flour, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and orange zest.

Arrange 1/2 the sliced yams in a buttered casserole, sprinkle with 1/2 the sugar/spices mixture, scatter 1/2 the butter pieces over the top, then repeat layers.

Finish by pouring the orange juice over the top.

Bake uncovered in preheated oven at 350 degrees for 20 to 30 minutes or until the casserole is bubbling hot.

Remove and let sit for 5 minutes before serving.

Spoon out into small dishes and serve as a side or a dessert.

Will serve 4.
