Ingredients
4 sweet potatoes , peeled and sliced into 1-inch rounds (about 2 lbs)
1/4 cup Salted butter , melted
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons maple syrup
About 12 regular-sized marshmallows , halved
About 24 pecan halves
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 425°F and prepare a sheet pan by greasing it with butter or nonstick spray.
-
Place sweet potato rounds on the pan, pour melted butter over them, and mix until the sweet potatoes are evenly coated.
-
Bake the sweet potatoes for approximately 20 minutes, then turn them over (the bottoms should be browned) and bake for another 15-20 minutes until they are soft when pierced with a fork.
-
Take the sweet potatoes out of the oven and switch the oven setting to broil.
-
Drizzle maple syrup over the roasted sweet potatoes and gently mix. Place marshmallow halves on top.
-
Broil the marshmallow-topped sweet potatoes for 1-3 minutes until they are lightly toasted (be careful not to let them burn).
-
Immediately after removing the sweet potatoes from the oven, press a pecan half into the top of each marshmallow. Serve promptly.
