Ingredients
- 2 Sweet Potatoes
- 1/4 cup Brown Sugar
- 3 tbsp Unsalted Butter
- 2 tbsp Maple Syrup
- 1/2 tsp Ground Cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp Ground Nutmeg
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Yams. Peel and slice the yams into even rounds or wedges. Ensuring uniform size helps them cook evenly.
- Coat with Sugar Mixture. 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.
- Air Fry to Perfection. 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.
- Serve and Enjoy. 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!
