Ingredients

  • 4 large sweet potatoes wash and pat dry
  • 1/2 cup roughly chopped pecans
  • 6 Tbsp butter cubed
  • 1 tsp salt divided
  • 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice
  • 2-3 cups mini marshmallows

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375°F. Wash and pat dry sweet potatoes. Pierce a few times with a knife. Wrap in foil. Place onto a baking sheet. 
  • Place into oven. Bake for 45-55 minutes or until soft when squeezed.
  • Meanwhile, spread pecans on a separate baking sheet in a single layer. Toast while potatoes bake for 5-7 minutes, then set aside.
  • To assemble: Remove foil from potatoes. Slice potatoes down the middle leaving at least a 1/2 inch border on each end. Squeeze ends to open, leaving a gap in center. Place onto a baking pan, covered with foil spritzed with cooking spray for easier clean-up.
  • Divide butter between sweet potatoes. Season each with 1/4 tsp salt. (May adjust salt to taste)
  • In a small bowl, mix together brown sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle over butter. Use a fork to gently fluff through sweet potato flesh.
  • Divide toasted pecans between potatoes and top with marshmallows.
  • Return to the oven baking for 5 minutes or just until marshmallows are melting and golden. Broil for a few minutes to toast further, if desired.
  • Let stand for 5 minutes, then serve.
