Best Candied Yams (with Pecans)

These Candied Yams (Candied Sweet Potatoes) will be your new favorite way to devour sweet potatoes! This recipe is warmly-spiced, caramelized on the outside, luxuriously creamy, melt-in your mouth on the inside, drenched in a buttery, brown sugar maple syrup spiked with cinnamon, ginger, orange zest (and my secret ingredient!), all topped with crunchy pecans. Best of all, these Candied Sweet Potatoes aren't too sweet, easy to make and reheat beautifully for all your company and holidays!
