Easy Sweet Potato Casserole - Candied Yams

All I see online are recipes that require so much work, when a sweet potato casserole should be so easy. No boiling, no mashing, no mixing, no "saucing" should be necessary. My recipe just requires the oven and a baking dish, and the results are perfect every time.

Summary: Just peel, slice, spice, bake, and baste

Great for fall and winter time holiday meals.  This is a simple recipe...very few ingredients, but extremely delicious.

It is important to baste during the cooking process in order to ensure the right flavor and to prevent any potatoes from drying out.

Ingredients

• 4 large sweet potatoes (peeled and slices into 1/2" medallions)
• 2-3 Tbsp allergy free butter substitute, like SmartBalance (or butter)
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp nutmeg
• 1/4 c. brown sugar
• 1 bag marshmallows
• splash of fresh lemon juice - optional

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 375 F
2. Place sweet potato medallions on 9x11 baking dish, make about 2 layers
3. Place dabs of butter all over the potatoes
4. Scatter brown sugar all over the potatoes
5. Sprinkle the cinnamon and nutmeg on top
6. Cover with foil and bake for 50 minutes, basting with juices every 15 min
7. When potatoes are tender, remove foil and top with marshmallows
8. Turn heat up to 475/500 and bake until marshmallows are browned
9. Remove from oven and let cool
