Ingredients

Scale
  • 23 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and sliced into ½-inch rounds
  • 1 cup mini marshmallows
  • ½ cup chopped pecans
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
  2. Peel and slice the sweet potatoes into ½-inch rounds, keeping them uniform for even cooking.
  3. In a mixing bowl, toss the sweet potato slices with melted butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt until well-coated.
  4. Arrange the slices on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer and roast for 25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until tender and beginning to caramelize.
  5. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and top each sweet potato slice with a few mini marshmallows and a sprinkle of chopped pecans.
  6. Switch the oven to broil mode and return the baking sheet to the oven. Broil for 2-3 minutes, watching carefully, until the marshmallows are golden and melty.
  7. Let the bites cool for a few minutes before transferring them to a serving platter.
