How to make yams for a large family

butter

brown sugar

🥗Healthier: coconut sugar

💰Cheaper: white sugar

Coconut sugar has a lower glycemic index.

marshmallows

Toasted coconut adds texture without added sugar.

Cut up the yams and wash them thoroughly.

Drain the yams and ensure they are not wet to avoid diluting the sauce.

Prepare a glaze (not detailed in the transcript) and pour it over the yams.

Cover the yams with foil and place them in a preheated oven at 350°F.

Cook the yams in the oven, covered, and then uncover them halfway through cooking.

Check the sauce consistency; it should be thick but pourable when added to the yams.

After cooking, the syrup should reduce down to a thick consistency, which is the desired outcome.
