Instructions
- 1 Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
- 2 Roast whole yams in the preheated oven until almost tender, 35 to 40 minutes; let cool.
- 3 Reduce the oven heat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- 4 Melt butter in a large pot over medium heat; stir in sugar, juice, and nutmeg until sugar dissolves. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low; cook until liquid thickens and becomes syrupy, 10 to 15 minutes.
- 5 Peel yams; cut into bite-sized chunks. Arrange in a single layer in a 13 x 9-inch baking dish. Drizzle syrup over yams.
- 6 Bake in the preheated oven, basting yams with syrup every 15 minutes until fork-tender, about 35 minutes.
- 7 Arrange marshmallows over yams; continue baking until marshmallows are puffy and brown, about 10 minutes more.
