Ingredients
 

  • 4 sweet potatoes , peeled and sliced into 1-inch rounds (about 2 lbs)
  • ¼ cup butter , melted
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • About 12 regular-sized marshmallows , halved
  • About 24 pecan halves

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 425°F and grease a sheet pan with butter or nonstick spray.
  • Add sweet potato rounds to pan, drizzle melted butter over the top, and toss until sweet potatoes are evenly coated. Season with salt.
  • Roast sweet potatoes for about 20 minutes, then flip them over (bottoms should be browned) and roast for another 15-20 minutes until fork tender.
  • Remove from oven and set oven to broil.
  • Drizzle maple syrup over roasted sweet potatoes and gently toss. Top with marshmallow halves.

Notes

  • Try to choose sweet potatoes of equal size and slice them evenly so they'll all cook in the same amount of time.
  • Use kitchen shears to cut marshmallows in half.
