Ingredients
- 4 pounds sweet potatoes peeled, halved and cut into 1 inch pieces
- 2/3 cup dark brown sugar packed
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
- 2 cups miniature marshmallows
- cooking spray
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Coat a 9x13 inch pan or 3 quart baking dish with cooking spray.
- Place the sweet potatoes in an even layer in the dish.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, butter, cinnamon, salt and nutmeg.
- Pour the brown sugar mixture over the sweet potatoes. Toss to coat them evenly in the sauce.
- Bake the yams for 30-40 minutes, stirring every 15-20 minutes, until tender and caramelized.
- Sprinkle the marshmallows over the top, and bake for another 5 minutes or until marshmallows are melted and browned. Serve immediately.
Notes
- I like to choose long, thinner sweet potatoes because they are easier to cut into similar size pieces.
- Make sure you cut your yams into even sized pieces so they cook at the same rate.
- This dish is best served immediately upon coming out of the oven when the marshmallows are nice and hot.
