Ingredients

  • 2 small sweet potatoes about 1 lb
  • 8 pecan halves
  • 4 large marshmallows
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter melted
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
  • Peel the sweet potatoes and cut each potato into 4 even slices.
  • In a bowl, pour the melted butter over the sliced sweet potatoes. Season with salt and mix until the potatoes are evenly coated.
  • Arrange the coated sweet potato slices on a baking tray and bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. After 15 minutes, flip the slices over and continue baking for an additional 10 minutes.
  • Remove the sweet potatoes from the oven and switch oven to broil.
  • Drizzle the maple syrup over the sweet potato slices.
  • Cut the marshmallows in half and place them on top of the sweet potato slices.
  • Roast the sweet potatoes with the marshmallows under the broiler for 2-3 minutes or until lightly browned on top, keeping a close eye to prevent burning.
  • Once the marshmallows are toasted and slightly golden, remove the tray from the oven.
  • Place a pecan half on top of each marshmallow-topped sweet potato slice. Serve.
