Equipment

  • Rimmed baking sheet
  • parchment paper
  • Mixing bowl

Ingredients
  

  • 2 sweet potatoes about 1 lb
  • 2 tablespoon unsalted butter melted
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoon maple syrup
  • 8 pecan halves
  • 4 large marshmallows halved

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly coat it with cooking spray.
  • Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into thick rounds, about 4 slices per potato. Use a sharp knife for even cuts.
  • In a medium bowl, toss the sweet potato slices with melted butter and salt. Arrange them in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake the sweet potato slices for 15 minutes. Flip them over and bake for another 10 minutes or until fork tender.
  • Remove the sweet potato rounds from the oven, drizzle with maple syrup, and top each slice with a halved marshmallow.
  • Switch the oven to broil and toast the marshmallows for 2–3 minutes, watching closely to achieve a golden brown finish without burning.
  • Top each marshmallow with a pecan half and serve warm.

Notes

Storage and Freezing
Refrigerate: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Reheat: Warm in the oven at 350°F (175°C) until heated through.
Freezing: You can freeze the baked sweet potato slices without toppings. Place them in an airtight container or freezer bag for up to 1 month. Thaw in the refrigerator before reheating and adding toppings.
Ensure your sweet potato slices are uniform in thickness for even cooking. A consistent ½-inch thickness will help the rounds cook evenly and avoid over-browning on one side. The cooking time may vary depending on how thick you make your slices.
