Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 4 whole sweet potatoes peeled and sliced into 1-inch rounds
- 0.25 cup butter melted
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 12 whole marshmallows halved
- 24 whole pecan halves
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and grease a sheet pan with butter or nonstick spray.
- Place the sweet potato rounds on the pan, drizzle the melted butter over them, and toss until evenly coated. Season with salt.
- Roast the sweet potatoes for about 20 minutes, then flip them over (bottoms should be browned) and roast for another 15-20 minutes until fork-tender.
- Remove from the oven and set the oven to broil.
- Drizzle maple syrup over the roasted sweet potatoes and gently toss. Top with marshmallow halves.
- Broil the marshmallow-topped sweet potatoes for 1-3 minutes until lightly toasted (watch so they don't burn).
- As soon as the sweet potatoes come out of the oven, press a pecan half into the top of each marshmallow. Serve immediately.
Notes
For an extra crunch, you can toast the pecans before adding them to the marshmallows.
