Candied yams are a sweet and tender dish made by roasting sliced yams with a generous coating of brown sugar and a sprinkle of cinnamon. The yams are baked until they are soft and caramelized, resulting in a delightful contrast of textures - a crispy, glazed exterior and a smooth, creamy interior. A comforting and indulgent side dish.

The sweet and earthy flavors of candied yams, roasted with brown sugar and cinnamon, pair well with the aromatic and floral notes of Moscatel de Alejandría, a white grape variety known for its sweet and perfumed character. Alternatively, the red grape Nerello Mascalese, with its bright acidity and red fruit notes, can complement the dish's caramelized sweetness and provide a refreshing contrast.
