Don’t tell my Midwestern dad, but it’s totally possible to make delicious candied sweet potatoes without marshmallows. This version, made in the Anova Precision Oven, produces perfectly soft potatoes that still have just enough bite to not fall apart when you spoon them from the pan at Thanksgiving dinner. The candy glaze is made with brown sugar, maple syrup, cinnamon, ginger, and a generous amount of really good vanilla. The entire stick of butter doesn’t hurt, either. Note: After further testing, this recipe has been updated to use a shorter cooking time.
