Description

Delicious bite-sized sweet potato treats topped with gooey marshmallows and crunchy pecans, perfect for any occasion.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large sweet potatoes
  • 1 cup mini marshmallows
  • ½ cup pecans, chopped
  • 2 tbsp butter, melted
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (205°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  2. Peel and chop the sweet potatoes into 1-inch cubes. Toss them in melted butter, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt.
  3. Spread the sweet potatoes on the baking sheet in a single layer. Roast for about 20 minutes, or until they’re fork-tender and beginning to caramelize.
  4. Remove from oven and sprinkle on the mini marshmallows.
  5. Top with chopped pecans and return to the oven for an additional 5 minutes, until the marshmallows are golden brown and melty.
  6. Serve warm and watch them disappear!

Notes

Don’t skip the roasting step; those caramelized edges make the magic happen! Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
