Healthy Candied Yams


Recipe i followed: http://mywholefoodlife.com/2012/11/05/healthy-candied-yams/

The more i look at the picture, doesn't make it look that good lol.

I ended up doubling the recipe because i didn't think just one yam would of been enough for 4 people plus an extra plate for my dad's lunch for work. Anyways, I did mess up slightly with this. I have a hard time focusing on little things in recipes when my daughter is running around with hot things in the kitchen. The only thing i messed up on was that you were suppose to only put in about half the maple syrup in to mix and save the other half to glaze over at the end. I missed that little piece and ended up putting all of it in at one time, so didn't want to add extra to glaze at the end.

Pretty easy to make, easier if you are stronger at cutting yams. I had such a hard time getting it cubed up. Still managed since i got it cooked up.

I didn't really like these when compared to the usual candied yams i have, the ones with brown sugar and marshmallows. On their own not compared to anything, they weren't that bad. The orange juice stood out in the flavor and i think could of used less cinnamon. I don't know much different it would of been with the maple syrup glazed on top like it was suppose to be.

Won't be making these again.
