This sweet potato recipe is my version of my favorite sweet potato casseroles all mashed up into one. The sweet potatoes are baked, the centers are removed to make room for crunchy pecan pieces, brown sugar, and cinnamon, then finished off with toasted marshmallows.

Process

Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results
  1. Preheat Oven to 400 Degrees.
  2. Prepare sweet potatoes. Wash them thoroughly. Pierce the sweet potatoes all over with a fork.
  3. Wrap the sweet potatoes in foil.
  4. Place on a cookie sheet and bake in the oven for an hour or until they are fork-tender. Remove from oven and allow to cool until you can handle them.
  5. Once the sweet potatoes have cooled, cut the sweet potatoes in half.
  6. Now, you'll use a spoon to hollow out the centers. Leave about 1/4" of sweet potato around the skin. Repeat for each potato. When you're finished you should have 6 halves.
  7. Arrange halves in a greased sheet pan, cookie sheet, or cast-iron skillet.
  8. Mix brown sugar, cinnamon, and pecans together in a bowl. Sprinkle the mixture evenly inside the skins.
  9. Now, place the skins with the cinnamon, sugar, and pecan mixture in the oven to bake at 350 degrees for 10-15 minutes, until the pecans look toasted and the brown sugar and cinnamon have darkened in color.
  10. Remove from the oven and top with the mini marshmallows. Place back in the oven until the marshmallows are golden brown—approximately 5-10 minutes.
  11. Remove from the oven and allow to cool 3-5 minutes. Then, they are ready to eat!
