Instant Pot Clean Candied Yams

These healthy Instant Pot Candied Yams are good for you if you can believe it! Thanksgiving can be a fairly healthy holiday if you’re willing to make a few adjustments.

Thanksgiving and the holidays are always a trigger for most people.  If you look around you will see sweets and food anywhere and everywhere.  I have learned in order to change my lifestyle I have to change up my holiday recipes.  What would a holiday be without Candied Yams?  I spent a lot of time in my kitchen trying to perfect this recipe and let me tell ya, it is absolute perfection!

These Candied Yams are absolute perfection and you will be left with people asking for more. They are great for family gatherings and get togethers with friends around the holidays. The recipe is so easy to make and that’s what keeps me coming back each year. They are just that delicious.

No marshmallows here but with the combination of natural sweetness from the maple syrup and sweet potatoes you really don’t miss the added sugar!

Another perfect reason for making this recipe is that most of the items needed are already in your pantry. When you have retrieved all your ingredients, I start off be adding cubed sweet potatoes (I leave the skin on), maple syrup, water, butter, and cinnamon to your Instant Pot Pressure Cooker. I leave them in for 10 minutes and then I remove the lid and use the immersion blender to puree potatoes to your liking.

Add pecans and stir. Transfer to a serving dish and sprinkle with an additional handful of pecans and cinnamon.

Enjoy this recipe because it is one that truly goes well with every other Thanksgiving recipe.
