– Quick and Efficient. Ready in a fraction of the time it takes to bake in the oven, these candied yams are perfect for busy holiday meal preparations.
– Caramelized Goodness. The air fryer's intense heat caramelizes the sugar coating, giving the yams a heavenly sweetness with a hint of crispiness.
– Minimal Effort. A straightforward recipe that requires minimal hands-on time, allowing you to focus on other aspects of your holiday feast.
In a bowl, combine brown sugar, melted butter, maple syrup, cinnamon, nutmeg, and a pinch of salt. Toss the yam slices in this luscious mixture, ensuring each piece is well-coated.
Preheat your air fryer to 375°F. Arrange the yam slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the edges are golden and caramelized.
Transfer the candied yams to a serving dish, and optionally sprinkle with a bit of extra cinnamon for a visual touch. Serve warm and watch them disappear!
