Description

Delightfully sweet and warm, these Stuffed Sweet Potatoes are baked to perfection and topped with a luscious mixture of butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, pecans, and gooey toasted mini marshmallows. Perfect as a comforting side dish or a cozy dessert, this recipe brings out the best flavors of sweet potatoes with a rich, sweet twist.

Ingredients

Sweet Potatoes

  • 4 large sweet potatoes

Brown Sugar Mixture

  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 4 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 1/3 cup pecans (optional)

Toppings

  • 4-6 slices butter
  • 2 cups mini marshmallows

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for baking the sweet potatoes.
  2. Prepare the Brown Sugar Mixture: In a bowl, combine the brown sugar, cinnamon, and pecans if using. Mix well and set aside for later.
  3. Prepare the Sweet Potatoes: Wash the sweet potatoes thoroughly and prick the skins multiple times with a fork to allow steam to escape during baking.
  4. Bake the Sweet Potatoes: Place the sweet potatoes on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for about 1 hour or until tender and easily pierced with a fork. Cooking time can vary based on the size of the sweet potatoes.
  5. Slice and Add Butter and Sugar Mixture: Remove the baked sweet potatoes from the oven and carefully slice them down the center. Place a slice of butter inside each potato and sprinkle about a tablespoon of the brown sugar and cinnamon mixture over the butter.
  6. Top with Marshmallows: Evenly spread mini marshmallows over the top of each stuffed sweet potato.
  7. Broil the Sweet Potatoes: Turn on the broiler setting of your oven. Place the sweet potatoes back in and broil until the marshmallows are golden brown and toasted on top. Watch carefully as marshmallows can brown quickly and may burn if unattended.
  8. Serve and Enjoy: Once the marshmallows are perfectly toasted, remove the sweet potatoes from the oven and serve immediately while warm.

Notes

  • Be cautious when broiling as marshmallows can burn quickly; keep a close eye on them.
  • Pecans add a nice crunch, but they are optional and can be omitted for nut allergies.
  • You can adjust the amount of cinnamon and brown sugar to taste if you prefer less sweetness or spice.
  • To speed up baking time, consider microwaving the sweet potatoes for 5-7 minutes before transferring to the oven.
