Easy Stuffed Sweet Potatoes Recipe

Sweet potatoes are on our menu fairly often in several different forms. I figure, why wait until fall or the holidays, to enjoy this glorious spud. Roasted Honey Chipotle Sweet Potato Wedges make a delightful accompaniment to burgers and chicken sandwiches year-round. A favorite brunch option is my Sweet Potato Hash with baked eggs and ham. At the holidays, you’re certain to find Sweet Potato Casserole and streusel topped Southern Sweet Potato Pie on our celebration menu. These individual servings are perfect for a smaller group or occasion, when a full casserole isn’t feasible.

How to Make the BEST Stuffed Sweet Potatoes Recipe

• Ingredients you’ll need to make homemade Stuffed Sweet Potatoes: Sweet potatoes, butterm light brown sugar, salt, mini marshmallows, chopped pecans, ground cinnamon or pumpkin pie seasoning.
• Kitchen tools you’ll need: Sheet pan, sharp knife and cutting board, measuring set, spoon, small bowl, medium bowl and potato masher.
• To make Stuffed Sweet Potatoes: First, clean the potatoes and wrap in foil. Vent with a knife cutting slits on top. Bake until tender, then peel back the foil and cool just enough to handle. Cut a slit down the middle, add butter and salt then sprinkle with the butter-cinnamon mixture. Fluff with a fork then sprinkle with pecans and mini marshmallows. Pop back into the oven and bake until the marshmallows are toasted then serve.
• It’s important to choose sweet potatoes of similar size and shape. I find the more plump sweet potatoes work best for this recipe.
• You can use cinnamon or pumpkin pie seasoning in these sweet potatoes. Pumpkin pie seasoning is a blend of cinnamon, nutmeg, clove and ginger. It works beautifully with sweet potatoes, too.
• This recipe can easily be modified for one or two servings as well as increasing it to make more servings depending on your needs.
• When adding the filling to the baked sweet potatoes, use a fork to gently mix into the flesh. Some will melt and escape while baking, this is normal.
• Due to some of the juices escaping while baking, line the sheet pan with heavy duty foil sprayed with cooking spray for easier clean-up.
• If necessary, you can broil the mini marshmallows under the broiler for a few minutes at the end of baking to toast them to your liking.
• Store baked Stuffed Sweet Potatoes chilled in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in single servings in the microwave.
