Southern Baked Candied Yams (Gluten Free)---
These yams are the "real deal"----old fashioned, southern style, baked version of sweet potato deliciousness. Both of my grandmothers baked these candied yams. They are amazing and buttery with just the right amount of caramelized brown sugar!
This simple recipe is super easy (3 ingredients). Simply bake them until they are buttery and tender, and you have a delicious side.
