Ingredients
 
 

  • 2 medium sweet potatoes about 1 pound
  • 8 halves pecan
  • 4 medium marshmallows
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 425 °F.
  • Peel the sweet potatoes and slice each into 4 even rounds, for a total of 8 slices.
  • Toss the slices in melted butter and salt until evenly coated.
  • Place slices on a baking tray and bake for 15 minutes. Flip, then roast for another 10 minutes.
  • Turn on the oven’s broil/grill setting. Drizzle maple syrup over each sweet potato slice. Cut marshmallows in half and place one half on each slice.
  • Broil for 2–3 minutes, just until the marshmallows are puffed and golden—watch closely to avoid burning.
  • Remove from oven and top each bite with a pecan half. Serve warm and enjoy!

Notes

  • Watch closely under the broiler since marshmallows brown fast.
  • Toast pecans in a dry skillet for extra flavor, or use pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, or toasted coconut for a nut-free option.
  • Add cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, or smoked paprika for a cozy touch.
Serve: Pair with turkey, ham, chicken, or classic sides like stuffing, green beans, or Brussels sprouts.
Store: Let the bites cool, then store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in a 350 F oven for 10 to 12 minutes.
