Equipment

Ingredients

2 sweet potatoes, washed and peeled
1 cup marshmallows
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
1/2 tsp salt
3 tbsp maple syrup
1/4 cup pecans
Non-stick cooking spray

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F, then lightly grease a baking pan with non-stick cooking spray.
Slice the sweet potatoes into rounds and arrange them on the prepared baking pan.
Drizzle the sweet potato rounds with butter and sprinkle with salt.
Bake for 20 minutes or until fork-tender. Remove the sweet potatoes from the oven.
Drizzle the baked sweet potato bites with maple syrup and top with marshmallows.
Bake for 3 to 5 minutes or broil for 1 to 2 minutes to toast the marshmallows.
Remove from the oven and immediately press a pecan half onto each marshmallow.

Notes

Aim for uniform sweet potato slices so they cook evenly.
You’ll know the sweet potato bites are ready when they’re tender enough to pierce with a fork.
Want to make these sweet potato bites even better? Add some salty bacon to balance the sweetness. Just tuck a piece of cooked bacon under the marshmallow before broiling.
